Merry Christmas

Thank You Aunt Nancy for the Bronco shirts.

Here are a few others from our early sleepy / Crazy Christmas morning that started with the boys jumping on Laura trying to wake her up.  We are making progress though as they actually slept until 7, a new Wilson family record.

The boys love their Star Wars Advent Calendar

From Aunt Emily.

Preston builds on even days, Parley is on the odd days. 

Margee and I with the Grinch

It was a fun party Saturday night.  The kids were nowhere to be found as they were with friends.

It has been a fun week here in Cheyenne.  Fly home day tomorrow. 

It has been a fun week of Birthday parties.  Dad turned the big 70 on Thanksgiving day, we got him a new TV.  Earlier tonight we had Nathans Birthday party (5) and then we had Laura's Birthday party(16) after dinner.

Here is the video of her opening her presen

These are all the November and December Bdays on the Wilson side of the family.

We did have Aunt Nancy earlier in the month. We need a picture of her on the blog.

Last Weekend of Football

Here is a great sequence of Preston making his first ever in game tackle.  A nice open field solo tackle on a kick return.

Preston got to be the water boy for Parley's championship game.

Scar update

Margee just took the final pieces of tape off the scar.  The bruising and swelling is nearly gone.  Range of motion is coming back slowly, but it is still incredibly week, not that there has ever been much strength there.   Thankfully this one is in the books and the nerve pain seems much better.  Nerve regeneration is 1-2 mm per week.  So it could be 6-9 months for the nerve to be completely back to normal.  

Rest of Halloween 2012

I'm finally getting the boys Halloween costumes up here.  They did so much trick or treating last Friday night they didn't feel like doing much last night, and we have way too much candy.  So from the office last week we have the Mad Hatter, a Hot Dog, and Hawkeye.

Here are a few of the boys posing in between parties last Friday night.

 You can see my white rabbit costume that Margee put together down below a few posts.

Kids being crazy tonight

Halloween 2012

Margee's costume designs.  We had a fun party at Church tonight. 

Incision and bruise - Viewer discretion advised

Elbow surgery was Wednesday.  This is what it looks like tonight.  Its pretty sore but the recovery has been far better than I remember with the other surgeries.  The good news is I can type without too much pain. 

Parley #96 post game coach talk

Undefeated 7-0 regular season.  The Vikes have a #1 seed heading into the playoffs next week.  Parley recovered a fumble last week, and bruised his tail bone in the pile. 

Dan before surgery

Laura made Preston a made blanket for his Birthday and Preston blowing out his candles with his pads on as the boys had practice right after dinner and presents.  It has been a great day celebrating Preston's 9th.  

Our baby boy turns 9 - Happy Birthday Preston

New Patio

A little too much stuff out on the patio tonight but Margee had a sale last weekend.  The new seed is growing like crazy.  Sure nice not having that old deck back here. 

Laura's Wisdom Teeth

This is an old one but I had to get Laura's cute swollen cheeks on the blog after her wisdom teeth were taken out.  The swelling is long gone now.  She is the only Wilson that has ever had wisdom teeth removed without any dry sockets.  Her friend Miranda had come over to visit her that day.
