A Very Merry Christmas!

Hope your Christmas was Merry!  Aaron and I enjoyed a great time spending the holiday with the Wilson side of our family.  As with any holiday, we followed through with the old traditions, and - this year - we even made some new ones!

CHRISTMAS EVE
Going to Cracker Barrel on Christmas Eve is a Wilson family favorite.  Here we are battling with the pegboard game.  Turns out we're all "just plain dumb" with 3 pegs left each.    At least we weren't ignoramuses :)
Lianne and Uncle Herschel....err...A.J.
Aaron's parents Andy and Susan.
Aaron & me. 
The star of the show, Kaitlyn Marie.
After breakfast we went to downtown Orlando to wander around Lake Eola.  So pretty!
A new tradition was started: we had a family bake-off!  Here's one of the teams: the guys and their mom.
Not pictured is the other team: Lianne, Andy, and me.  But here are the deliciously underrated (losing) cookies!  
CHRISTMAS DAY
Kaitlyn opening a present from her stocking.  Speaking of stockings...
How cute is this little stocking!?!? 
Everything goes in her mouth these days.  Wrapping paper is no exception.
The guys making breakfast: another tried and true Wilson traditon - breakfast tacos!
K sportin' our gifts to her!
Our favorite present that 2011 brought!
Couldn't resist sharing this one.  How cute is our niece!? 
This was her favorite move the whole weekend.  Aaron called it the sprinkler. 
Before Christmas service with the grandparents.
The hubs and me.
What a cute family!
After church, we got to see our Virginia besties for the evening!
BOXING DAY
(A.K.A. the 26th of December)
 After spending the morning in Orlando, we went to visit my family in Stuart to exchange gifts and hugs.  Was a bit of a whirlwind trip.  Here we are in an intense game of catch phrase.
The guys were losing so bad they all exchanged high fives when they finally got a point.
Not really sure at all why Aaron is doing this.  But I thought it would leave you with a lovely last image :)  I guess Christmas just gets him excited and silly...
