Our beginning Christmas adventures...

We have been beginning to enjoy the holiday season! We put up our Christmas tree the Friday after Thanksgiving. Owen enjoyed helping to put some ornaments on it.
He even has a tree in his own bedroom. He loved putting the decorations on it and every night whe he goes to bed the lights are on for him.
We started to hide his Elf on a Shelf around the house, he loves trying to find it each day. It is so funny how he revisits the places that he has been placed before. I guess though he knows that Santa is watching him.

It was a beautiful weekend after Thanksgiving so we put up all the outside lights! Boy do we love the lights and decorations during Christmas!

We encountered our 1st "I'm scared of Santa." while Santa decided to talk to Owen at the mall. It was from a distance actually Santa was downstairs and Owen was upstairs. Oh well he will warm up.

On the Friday after Thanskgiving, we went to Ligonier Light up night and Owen was alright wtith santa but still not impressed.

On Friday, Dec 4th, Grammy and Pappy took Owen to see santa at the Hallmark Store in Latrobe. He did not sit on his knee but he stood beside him, so we are getting there.

On Saturday, Dec 5th we went back to Hallmark store after going to the library and Owen would only pet the dog, he hid behind Daddy and wouldnt go near Santa. This was not a good sign to me, I was thinking Santa at the MOm's group Christmas party was not going to happen.

To our surprise, he was really interested in this Santa. He actually watched Santa go all through the rooom and when it came time for him to sit on his knee, he actually did it and even cheesed it up a bit by saying his usual "CHEEEEESE!"

We had our Moms@play Christmas Party and Owen had a blast! He played and danced and had a good time.

THis weekend we bought Owen his first official train set, this is a set that will go under the tree every year and be able to be added too. He absolutely loved going to Brady's Train Store to pick it out. It was hard though to get him out of the store.
This is a picture of him on Sunday morning taking his first look at his new train.
