What the Christmas??

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it is March but I have to stay in order so I MUST blog about Christmas as it was truly wonderful and then the other happpening so that I can finally catch up.
This is our Christmas tree. We decorate the tree at the end of November so that we can enjoy doing it together. If we don't decorate it in November then Tim gets too busy with school and we barely have any time to just celebrate and have fun. Each year we buy each other a new ornament. Tim got me another Taylor Swift guitar and I got him a little lego man. It is fun to add to our Christmas stock every year. I love Christmas and hope to one day have it exploding in our house.

We celebrated Christmas a few days early with the Wright's by going out for dinner and then opened presents!
David made us new scarves!
Chrissy got a puzzle and a super cute new sweater!
 
After a Wright Christmas, I worked a few more shifts and then we headed down south for a Wilde Christmas! The party had already begun when we got there and it pretty much never stopped.
Tim loves presents because his Grammie always spoiled him rotten so now he loves to spoil the neices and nephews. We gave the kids the first round of presents because they had a million. These were from the dollar store and only made it through a few nights of playing but they were still really fun
 
 
We played A LOT of mario cart. Tim of course took this picture because he always won. Cohen loves the wii and Santa loves him enough to bring him a wii of his own.
 
 
 We utilized the number of iphones to keep the kids busy. Cocoa and Quinny could play on these all day. Mason lost interest a little bit faster.
I had the job of organizing theNativity pageant so we dug through the dress up box and found my mom's wedding dress. Tannis wore it to be the star and it was definitely a hit. We coudn't stop there so we tried on our old dresses. We definitely rocked them. Side note: Erin is a couple months preggo in this pic! Nic work at fitting into it!
Our mother was definitely surprised.
For Christmas Eve we had a fabulous party. We played Minute to Win It!! Very fun and everyone was such a good sport! Sherri won the cookie game. It was hard work to get it from your forehead to your mouth with out using hands!
 
John and Taylor shakin the junk in the trunk.
Mase LOVED the chocolate fountain and Taylor Boy was kind enough to show him how to use it.
Cocoa was the cow in the Nativiy Pageant and he was so good at it.
Grandma and Grandpa Evans were Mary and Joseph. They did awesome.Grandpa even had a fake beard held on by double sided tape. I hope they are around next christmas and I promise not to forget baby Jesus!!
Cohen and Denton left a note for Santa. Good thing Cohen can't read:)
We had a pluthera of presents!
Cohen with the new electric car from Uncle Tim.
 
As always, Tim sewed my stocking shut.
Exhaustion after opening presents.
Once again we rocked the alumni tourney! For the first game we all played together and of course we won. For the second game we got mixed up and Danielle and I were on the same team and again of course we won!
I hit a point of exhaustion but still had to go boxing day shopping and we took our annual picture in Santa's chair.
We then headed home because as always I had to work. It was so much fun and always I can't wait til next year!
