Owen's First Christmas

The week before Christmas, Owen's school had a Christmas Party. I was so proud of him - he was the only infant not deathly afraid of Santa & Mrs. Claus (maybe because Santa resembles his grandpa, see picture below). All the babies were crying and he just crawled on over to them and climbed on their lap. That's my boy!





For the Christmas holiday, all five of us (Kim, Elliott, Owen, Avery and Tabasco) piled into the SUV and ventured up and over to Louisiana to celebrate the holiday on the Bayou. We felt like the Griswold's and after 14 hours in the car and my parents trailing behind us - we were ready for some holiday cheer. Here are some pictures from the holiday...

So excited!



Christmas morning... Santa left him two wonderful gifts. We were so excited Santa remembered to leave gifts for Owen in Louisiana, he is such a smart guy!



The family Christmas Day. Please notice Avery and Tabasco hiding under our legs.
