Many kids will take their pictures with Santa Claus for a few winters, but four siblings in Seattle, Washington, have kept the family tradition alive for 60 consecutive years — and they have the amazing photos to prove it.



Scott Wilson took the family's first of 60 consecutive photos with Santa Claus in 1955. Today

As Steve Wilson told Kim Holcolmb of NBC affiliate KING5, he and his two brothers, Scott and Mike, and sister, Wendy, have gotten a kick out of recreating the photo op long after some would consider them too old to do so.

The four Wilson siblings, including young Wendy, gather as a foursome for the Santa pic first time in 1960. Today

"We never said, 'Are we really doing this again?'" Steve said with a laugh. "We were like, 'Let's go! Let's go!'"

The Wilson family kicked off the tradition in 1955, when oldest sibling Scott sat on the lap of St. Nick.



Once they got rolling, the only time a Wilson sibling was missing was 1978, when Scott was out of state. But every other year has featured all four siblings in attendance, reflecting the fashions and hairstyles of each era.

The Wilsons continued the Santa photo tradition as adults, as this picture from 1982 proves. Today

"Time flies like that," Steve told KING5. "You don't even realize it."

The 2012 photo includes many members of the growing Wilson family, and was the last one to feature the original siblings' father, Woody, who passed away in 2013. Today

In the early '90s, the Wilson siblings welcomed significant others and the Wilson parents to their side of the lens. The family unit remained together on camera through 2012, but Woody would pass away a month later, after celebrating his 94th birthday. Steve said he wore one of his father's vintage jackets for the 2013 edition so Woody could be "in the picture."



The 2014 photo marks the 60th straight year that the Wilson family has posed for photos with Santa. Today

Earlier this month, the family gathered for its 60th straight Santa photo. "It's the history of our family," Steve said. "It just happens to be with Santa Claus."
