After a most rewarding and wonderful family get together on the Saturday before Christmas (see previous post), Dad and I quickly cleaned the house, packed our bags and grabbed about four hours of sleep. We left early Sunday morning to surprise the Wilson family (minus Kevin) for Christmas. It turned out that it was indeed a huge surprise. (Thanks Kevin for everything.) We loved and enjoyed a week of games, great food, and not to be forgotten, a trip to the pool on Christmas Eve day. Christmas just wouldn't be the same without viewing the gifts and excitement through the eyes of little children. Christmas morning was very reminiscent of when our children were little--early hours, Santa's arrival and gifts, and calling each child one by one down the stairs. I love giving gifts all times of the year, however, this season was most enjoyable to choose gifts for each of my children and my grandchildren and to watch them open them. I hope everyone had a perfect Christmas season as I did.

It was a perfect season for me as well! Thanks for the surprise, and spending the season with us. Same time, same place next year?
What a great surprise, swimming in that pool looks mighty inviting! Glad you had some time to spend together.
swimming on Christmas...I miss those days
ok, so the pool picture makes me very envious, but I will let it slide only because I love both you and the Wilson's, and the idea of you surprising them for Christmas!!
It is nice to have a warm Christmas and to spend it with great company. I'm really happy that Audrey was suprised. I'm glad we're in town now to spend the season with you guys too!
