AT HOME WITH THE WILSON'S: December 2008

Home for Christmas

It was great being at home on Christmas eve and Christmas morning with Daddy and the little one. Abby and I had fun making cookies for Santa and fudge for our family to take on our round 2 VA Christmas tour.

My little cookie helper. She is making chocolate cookies for Santa.

Santa loved them.

More fudge...Yes, I did gain 15 more pounds.

pooped out

Look, Santa left Abby some presents

Patiently waiting

Yeepy

It's a violin. Where did she learn about violin's?

Let me sing you a song

I am going to grow up and be a doctor

I'd rather read then play with all the toys.

Off to VA for round 2

Christmas in Virginia Round One

Not once this year but twice. Twice the fun, isn't they what they say :)

After enjoyning a night out we headed up to VA for round one of Christmas with Nana. We had a fabulous dinner at Aunt Terry's, opened up lot's and lot's of presents, and another long night of fun without Abby (Did I really just type that, two nights without the little one. That is unheard of). Nana couldn't resist and keep the grandbaby's over at Granny Betty's for the night while her two boys had lot's of fun.

Here is a peak of what we did:

Each year Uncle Tyler get's together with his friends and celebrate's Festivus. I believe they have been doing this for the past seven years. Here is look at the night before slacker went to bed. I couldn't go two night's in a row. Boy, I am getting old.

And the whole gang...Cheers

We had a blast while we were there. However, we had to head back to SC so Santa could find us.

Work Christmas Party

A night out on the town

We don't go out alone very often but every once in a while we do.

Here we are at my work's Christmas Party:

Good times and fun

Doesn't Austin look handsome all dressed up.

The Warner's. They are the wonderful people that keep me busy during the week.

Charles and Jan. The best attorney's in SC

Here is a peak at some of the crazy folks I work with:

I can't forget to share the yummy shot's we enjoyed

It's a pineapple upside down cake.

Don't worry Abby was in good hands with Uncle Tim while we were out. They went to see the Christmas lights at the Zoo. However, when we arrived home a little girl was still up and ran out to the car to greet us. We enjoyed our time alone while it lasted.

Christmas Parade with the Schomps

We started off the holiday season visiting the Schomps to go to there town's Christmas Parade.

Before heading up there Abby and I made them some Sugar Cookies.

Once we made it up there we enjoyed some adult conversation while the kids played. Then we headed over to the parade. After finding the perfect spot we had some hot chocolate and watched the parade. The kids enjoyed getting candy from the parade folks. After the parade we headed over to the fire station for some cookies and crafts.

After the parade Abby had a little melt down

Too much fun and candy makes for a cranky Abby......

When we were done with all the parade activities we headed back to there house. We enjoyed a great dinner, Christmas Carols and wonderful birthday cake for me.....
