Christmas at Grandma B's House

We spent several days in Rock Rapids celebrating Christmas with Grandma B, Uncle Blair, Aunt Tarryn and cousin Reagan.  Camden and Kade got to spend a lot of quality time with Reagan.  It was so nice considering they don't get to see her too often!

 It's become a tradition to have a crab leg feast during our Wilson Family Christmas.  This year we added Crayfish to the mix.  I think Derek and Blair were the only ones to eat them, but it was fun to make something different.
 Here's the master crab leg chef preparing the food.
 Blair and Derek's first taste of the crayfish.
 Tarryn and I were completely repulsed by the crayfish.  

 Next it was time to open presents! This was the part the kids were waiting for.  Here's Camden modeling her new Columbia fleece from Grandma.

 Kade was more entertained by climbing in and on the clothes basket than anything else.
 He loved the dump truck because, again, he could climb in it.
 Grandma got all three of the kids matching pajamas.  Getting them to pose together for a picture wasn't so easy though.  The girls cooperated pretty well, but Kade wasn't in the mood for a photo shoot.

 We were finally able to get a picture of all three kids in their matching pj's sitting with Grandma.
 Another tradition that has developed over the past few years is decorating sugar cookies with Grandma.  I think Kade did more eating than decorating.  
 Thanks for the great times and memories Grandma B.  We had so much fun!
