merry christmas!

hope you all had a wonderful christmas!!! we had such a great time! we spent most of sunday with kurt's family. the kids and their cousins have a great time playing together. we all had fun playing uno attack and eating karla's wonderful food.

christmas eve and christmas day was spent at mimi and papa's. what a fun time! uncle charley and mandy brought their new puppy lola. she is such a cutie! anna got really attached to her very quickly. she did a great job of taking care of her, and even took her out a time or two. wilson loved yelling, "lola! lola!," but when she got close he said, "no no no" and ran away. uncle andy and diana brought their beagle jack a little later in the evening. jack is quite a bit bigger than lola and the kids were a little scared of him. but wilson loved yelling for him and running away from him too.

of course there was way too much food and WAY too many presents! the girls loved ALL of their presents! uncle charley and mandy gave ella a dress up bride gown. she didn't take that off all night. uncle john and aunt tall gave her a karoke machine. oh my. we are all having fun with that. i think wilson most of all! anna got not one, but 2 digital cameras. she had so much fun snapping pictures of everyone. wilson loves all of his toys and all of the girls toys and all of the boxes and wrapping paper and all of everything. he had so much fun! he's totally wiped and exhausted today!

of course there were quite a few hilarious moments during the weekend. wilson was the life of the party. he has everyone wrapped around his little finger. the most hilarious moment was when he and kurt were "sharing" chex mix. but apparently wilson didn't care to share, because when kurt put his hand in the bowl wilson pushed his hand out and said, "noooooo." ella had quite a few rare moments too, of course. she painted my nails for me yesterday. one hand is magenta and the other hand has alternating light pink and purple nails. as she was painting them this is what she said:
mom! when you go outside people are going to see your nails and say wow!
did you get those done at a makeover? and you can say no! ella did them!
she's so funny! and of course we've had hilarious karoke moments. i think my favorite was this morning. ella was saying, "give it up fooooor..." and then shouting an animal name. and then anna and wilson would make animal sounds. except no matter what animal ella said wilson said baa. lol! guess we need to keep working on our animal sounds, huh? :)

hopefully i'll have time to edit pictures soon.
