The Wilsons: Wilson Family Christmas

We made our way to Pensacola on December 29. Mama Charlie kept telling people that she hadn't had Christmas until all four boys and their families were all together under her roof. And that's exactly what took place on Monday night. We all gathered for food, fun, fellowship, and of course, lots of frolic! Cole and Mary Conlee had a great time playing with their cousins. This gave their moms and dads plenty of time to visit and catch up with each other, too. Each time we are gathered around the dinner table, Judd manages to get something started and his choice of topics keep us all laughing! After dinner, we opened our Christmas presents. With 7 grand kids, 4 boys and their wives, and Bob Bob and Mama Charlie delving into packages, it can be a little overwhelming. Mama Charlie enjoys watching us open our Christmas surprises. She had an extra special treat this year for all the girls. Something she says she NEVER leaves the house without. For full details, see photo below!

Cole and MC had a sleep over next door at Uncle Denny and Aunt Gena's new house. This is also Judd's parents' old house. So it was nice to be able to go back and forth between houses. Cole stayed up with the boys watching Indiana Jones until midnight. Mary Conlee watched Kit Kittredge as long as she could, but gave in at 11:15 and begged to go back to Mama Charlie and Bob Bob's. The kids played in the park right across the street, jumped on Catie and Mac's trampoline, made gingerbread men with the cousins and Ben and Maggie(Catie and Mac's other cousins), and many more things we probably know NOTHING about. What a great way to end the year- surrounded by family!
