Christmas Recap

Its been a whirlwind holiday season. Between cookie exchanges, 40th wedding anniversary parties, christmas, new years, visiting friends and neighbors, it feels like we've been going non-stop for the past 3 weeks. My parents are visiting for Christmas and beyond, so its been really nice having help in the midst of all the business. I had some time off around Christmas and New Years, so we did lots of baking, enjoyed cold wintery walks, and read lots and lots of dinosaur books. Owen showed surprising self control on Christmas morning, waiting for Uncle Christian to arrive before diving into the presents. He cleaned up on the toys, books, puzzles... The morning after Christmas, Owen was a little bit disappointed that there wasn't another pile of presents to open. He's already looking forward to his birthday. We had a mellow new years and de-christmased the house yesterday. For the time being, I'm enjoying the lack of events to plan for. I am, however, hoping to start some good bible reading and working-out habits. If only there were 26 hours in a day...

Happy 2010! Enjoy the pictures...

Hey, I'm slowing getting caught up on blog reading from the past two weeks. Looks like you guys had a great Christmas. That picture of Owen in the bag is crazy. I had to look at it for quite a while. That must be a gigantic bag!
