December Trend Alert!

**Beats my forehead on the keyboard** I took a total of zero pictures this Christmas. I don't know what happened. The thought honestly never occurred to me. sigh. Christmas was really nice. It was a very busy day and I couldn't wait for it to end, but I think it was a very successful day and a good time was had by all.

So, onto December Trend Alert

-Legos (Hunter), Plasma Car (Dane), Anything Kung Zhu related- toys, ds, anything (Corbin) **Dane calls the Kung Zhu's Bakugan... makes me laugh

-Diary of a Wimpy Kid- the movie- I must say, this movie is quite funny. The boys have watched it at least once a day since Christmas and they still laugh at it hysterically like the first time and now Corbin has begun saying the lines along with the actors.

-Dispicable Me- this movie, I think, has moved itself to the top tier of favorite animation movies for me... the kids loved it too!

-Dexter- Matt and I finally sat down and watched Season 1 and 2 on Netflix. Wow! I see what all the hype was about. This show is a little dark, but funny, but a little showtime-esque. It's a little rough, but the storyline is fun!

-Pudding

-Clementines-I've discovered that Hunter really likes these... and I eat 5+ a day. They are so good!

-Scripture Study- We started this a few weeks back. Some nights are good, some nights are not very successful. But I'm glad to be doing it and I really think long term, this will be invaluable to all of us as a family.

-"Ding!" while holding his index finger up- Hunter says this when you say something that he likes or may want. Example- Me: "Hunter, would you like to have an orange?" Hunter: "Ding!"

-"Zoo Wee Mama!"- Thanks to Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season! See you next year!

From Our Family to Yours...

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Wilsons- Matt, Jaime, Corbin, Hunter, Dane, and baby on the way!

I've decided to set aside my "bah hum bug" feelings and embrace the season. (Hormones- I will continue to blame them) This was going to be our Christmas card this year, but I had to remove a few to do things from my plate (and not to mention the budget). Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!

Bah Hum Bug, I guess!

Ya know, the holidays are supposed to be a happy time where our central focus should be on Christ. Instead, they are filled with the most extreme stress of the year for me personally. It doesn't matter if I plan to the hilt or don't plan at all, I've come to dread this time of year. I paste on my crazy smile and deal with the weird Christmas mayhem. I pretend to enjoy this time of year, but I don't. Too many presents to buy, too many expectations to fulfill, too many class parties, too many presents to buy (did I mention this already? Who cares), too many places to be, too many last minute homework that teachers want to assign before the holidays come... I could go on and on. Bah Hum Bug, I guess.


I apologize in advance... Don't mind me or my pleasant demeanor, I am who I am... or I am who my hormones dictate me to be. And right now, that mixed with my stress levels is morphing me into...


Yes, Scrooge McDuck! Please sir, can this holiday be peaceful? Please sir, can I just go to the store and shop instead of letting my shopping cart on Amazon just sit there waiting!? If I don't get my shopping out of the way soon, sir, I will implode! Please sir, can the weather warm up a little so stepping outside isn't physically painful? Please, please, please sir, throw me a friggin bone!

So now, I paste on my crazy smile and wish everyone a Merry Christmas while in my head I'm really thinking Bah Hum Bug, I guess.
