A Day With the Wilsons: Christmas 2010/New Year's 2011

Christmas has come and gone and it was a GREAT 2 weeks at home w/ the family! It is always the hardest break to recover from b/c it's just enough time to really enjoy and get used to being at home, and then it's BACK TO REALITY! Plus, it's winter, cold, dreary, and I'm not fan of cold weather. And it's a long haul til spring break---the good news is spring is around the corner! So in the meantime we have basketball to keep us busy and the kids love it! Sadly, no real photos of Christmas morning, but it was the traditional Christmas day. We woke up and celebrated, went to Gram's and celebrated, had lunch w/ the Wilson crew, and followed up w/ Christmas with my family. The kids brought in the New Year in a BIG way. They spent the night w/ their Gram and Grandaddy and had a big ole' time as you can see. Chase and I spent the evening w/ only adults. It was a little weird, but nice! It's always nice to have a child-free evening but it also reminds me of how quiet it will be when they are grown and gone---it will be a happy day b/c I know they are going to do amazing things and I can't wait to see what they accomplish. But at the same time, when you've spent years chasing, running, fussing, praising, teaching, helping, nursing, loving....I'm not real sure how you just stop, or at least stop it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
