Merry Christmas!

Yesterday afternoon Mommy, Daddy and Owen braved it to the mall and rode the train. Owen loved the train and so did Mommy. He rode on it like a big boy as he watched all the things pass by. We didn't try Santa again, the line was too long and we figured he would probably cry again.

Merry Christmas! The past 2 days have been a lot of fun! We went to Grammy and Pappy Chamberlain's house for Christmas Eve dinner. Owen ate his dinner like a big boy. After dinner Grammy and Pappy gave Owen a train set he really LOVED it.
We started with going to Midnight Mass last night. We put Owen to bed a little after 8 p.m. and he slept til 11:10 p.m. and then we headed to church. Owen started out sleeping a little during the music time before mass but was awake during the rest of the mass. He was a really good boy for that late at night. Well when we got home he was sound asleep we changed him into his jammies from Santa and he fell asleep for a few minutes. Little did we know that he would be so excited he would eat all of Santa's cookies and milk that we put out as well as be up until 3 a.m. (we got home from church about 1:15 a.m.) He finally fell asleep--so that Santa could come!!!--- and woke up about 8:10 a.m.

After he woke up we went downstairs and he was really excited when he saw everything under the tree! He opened a few presents and tried out his new chair and that was it. Aunt Darla, Uncle Keith, Nicole, Grandma, Pap Pap, Grammy, Pappy and Joe came over for brunch. Owen ate everything on the table and then was ready to open some presents. He opened his 1st present and was so focused on it, it was hard to get him away from it to open the rest of them. He ripped a little bit of wrapping paper and then ran away from it and then would go back to it. I think he had a great time! He got a lot of toys that he will love playing with! He finally decided that he was tired and went down for a nap at 1:30 p.m. Hopefully he will rest up so we can continue to play with all his toys!
