Hey, it's me again. Wanted to add a few more pictures of the kids. They had a super time and can't wait for next year! The picture of Aeryn holding a white duck was a gift from her big brother Alex. He shoveled snow for two days to earn the money to get it for her. The dog was from Santa. She loves stuffed animals.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and had a safe and merry Christmas! Well, the Wilson (us) didn't do very much. We spent Christmas Eve with Mark's family. We had a great time and Santa Claus stopped by to see the kids. I took a few pics and as you can tell Aeryn was not happy to him. She just screamed and tried to get away. I really don't blame her. Poor kid. We played bingo and ate. ALOT. At least I have the baby to blame my weight on right now. After I have him..I may have problems conviencing other (including myself) that it was just baby fat. After the party we came home and slept till the pitter patter of reindeer feet woke us up at about 5:20am the next morning. I should really request a late wake up all. Alex was the first one up and poking me (in the head!) that Santa had come to our home. I have never seen a kid go so crazy in all my life. It was so funny to his eyes about jump out of his head when he saw his gifts. Aeryn no so much. She did enjoy tearing at the paper. Alex was (is) all about Star Wars. He got 2 Star Wars t-shirts and video game (Meemaw and Poah Poah Baldera, 6 action figures (total from grandparents, aunts and uncles), 4 Books and his favorite...A clone trooper voice changer. This was all Star Wars merchandise. Curse George Lucas!!. Aeryn was not as specific with her requests considering she still doesn't talk much. She got plenty of toys and clothes that she was very happy with. So over all the kids were happy that they did not get coal this year, but explained to them there is always next year! Should keep them on their toes for at least 1 week (If I'm lucky). We also had a sit down to remind them as much as we love getting presents the true meaning of Christmas is the greatest gift that was given to us by our older brother Jesus Christ and how much we are thankful for choosing to come to earth for us all. During the time we watched the popular tv specials and programs we asked Alex, " What was missing from all the t.v. shows that is the true meaning of Chirstmas?" I have never been so proud of my boy as I was when he answered "Jesus". So during this time of giving and receiving gifts remember that the most important present has already been given and all we have to do is accept the gift and try every day to be worthy of it. I love you all and hope you have a great rest of your holidays. I love you!

And the survey says! (I win!!)
On December 15th, at about 10:30am, I had an appointment with my dr. to have the BIG ultrasound. My growing family and I are happy to announce that we will be welcoming a boy, sometime in April of next year!!!! YAY! Please don't get me wrong. I love and adore my little girl, Aeryn, but boys just seem to be easier so I'm glad my order was correct. Alex was the first one to be told of our happy news. I drove straight from the dr.'s office to his school and pulled him out to let him know. There were punches in the air, along with yells of "YES!!" and high 5's all around. He is so excited. I then called Mark, who was dying to know and was not happy with having to wait a full 25 mins. to find out if he was having a boy or girl. I called him on my cell and said "ok, are you sure you want to know?" He said, "yes! and hurry!". "We are having a boy!" Mark's reply was priceless. "Oh, thank goodness!!" Ha ha ha! After that I called and Text everyone that "Needed to know" ( you know who you all are) :). Well, I tried to scan the ultrasound pictures. Not sure how well they came out. It's kind of like a game. "Do you see what I see? So good luck. I think they are labeled so it shouldn't be too hard. (That's what she said). Sorry couldn't help myself!! Ok, I will let everyone know what is going on with us as much as I can. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday. I love you all. If you guys have suggestions on names don't be afraid to share. I like Eli Howard Wilson. Let me know guys!!
