Christmas at the Wilsons

Like most years, we celebrated Christmas with the Haisler family at Kristy and John's house.  As usual the kids played hard, we had great food, and enjoyed a few hours of quality family time.  Every year I just pray that the kids know that Christmas is about so much more than pretty ribbons and gifts.  They were all very grateful for the things they got.  Probably one of the best gifts they can receive is a strong sense of family and they definitely got that on this day!  They also LOVE being around their cousin Chayse.  Great day for everyone!  Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Parties for All!

It's one of the busiest times of year, but also one of the most fun!  This year I took off work the week before Christmas just so I could finish up shopping and participate in ALL that was going on at the kids schools!  The kids always have a great time making crafts, playing games, and eating at their class Christmas parties.  Fortunately this year I was able to make all of theirs!  Memories for sure!!

Concerts at KRE

Mrs. Finkbinder, the music teacher at KRE, always does a fantastic job with the Christmas concerts!  It is always a great way to kick off the season and watch the kids sing their little hearts out!

Christmas Play at BUMC

Carson and Kennedi participated in the church Christmas play this year.  They both did an outstanding job!  Carson was a wise man and Kennedi was a sweet angel---that had a speaking part!  As always we were so proud of them.  Mostly, I am proud of their faith and that they know what Christmas is really all about!

Thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving was very special for us this year.  We hosted 2 trainees from Lackland Air Force Base in our home to share Thanksgiving with our family.  These 2 men are serving our country and making sacrifices for us.  It was a great opportunity to get to know them, share a meal with them, and offer them a comfortable couch for an afternoon nap! 

We have so much to be thankful for.  Personally, I am thankful for my faith, my family, and my health.  God has blessed me in more ways that I deserve.  I pray that my children know how blessed they are.  I pray that my children always remain thankful for the many blessings that they have been given.
