Wilson's World

Wilson got a little digital camera for Christmas and it has been a big hit. He walks around the house taking pictures of all the furniture and stuffed animals, he is really into close ups.

I often times tell Peter that when we look back on our lives in pictures it will be like I don't exist. I am always behind the camera, which I love, but I think Wilson might change things. Yesterday he asked if he practiced really hard could he be a photographer like me? I do wish I could remember how he says photographer- very cute. I think he will be busy making coffee and taking pictures.

Merry Christmas

We had a really good Christmas! Time with family, good food, new toys, a nap. Hope you all had a great day too.

Merry Christmas!

Cookie

Last weekend we let the kids have a little fun by making sugar cookies, a favorite Christmas tradition of mine.

Wilson and Dylan were very good with the shakers.

I had to leave this one in color so you wouldn't miss the icing. There really is a cookie under all that.

Thankful

We are lucky enough to have 9 nieces and nephews. There are many wonderful things about that, but the best part has to be that Wilson and Campbell get to have 9 cousins. This is really a joy to me and even more fun when they all get to be together. We spent the first half of last week with the Loibner cousins and the end of the week with the Wilson (really Craven) cousins. Wilson even refers to each group as "the cousins." I do so love family time and am very thankful for these special people in our lives.

Starburst & Turkeys

my little boys.


Wilson:

I guess this story really starts just after Halloween. We had a friend over and I was offering her a piece of candy from the large Halloween bowl. This broke off into a conversation about Starburst where I mentioned that the pink were my favorite, the only one I am really tempted by. Skip ahead to last week... Wilson got to pick a treat from the bowl and he said he was picking the two pack of Starburst, because there are two. After opening it and realizing that one was pink he brought it to me, "look." I was excited for him because pink really is the best and then he put it in my hand "this one is for you." i so enjoy the sweet moments.





Campbell:
"look mommy i make turkey"

Sprites and Sprinkles

Sounds like some treats, but instead this is what Wilson has named our two pair of kids scissors. They are a new purchase and when I gave them to him I explained that one was for straight lines and one was for crinkles. A few minutes later he asked which scissors I liked best the sprites or sprinkles? I so enjoy the funny little things my kids say and I love a little craft time.
