Christmas 2009

We woke and were happy

I really was a good boy, Santa loves me!

Halujiah! I got a nemo, my best friend!

Davis was put to work mowing the lawn while Brock set up the trampoline (which is the greatest gift ever!)

The first cherry pie I ever made. a huge success and now a desired tradition.

Christmas Eve (let down)

(Click the photo to enlarge and look at Owen's face)


More to come but here is the classic picture of Owen opening up his pj's from santa (not knowing that's what it would be) and being utterly disgusted that it wasn't Star Wars Legos (after all that IS what he had asked the big guy for). Have you seen that AFV video where the kid opens up a shirt stands up rips off his santa hat and storms upstairs all disgusted? That is what is about to happen in the photo (minus the santa hat rip off). Classic!

Owen on 2 wheels

We (Brock) finally got around to teaching Owen how to ride a two wheeler. We went up to the park at the end of our street where there is a nice large flat grassy area (dead grassy area no winter seed this year). It took two tries and he was off. Nervous if dad wasn't right next to him but he was doing it all by himself. He was proud. It is so cute to see him smile but try to hide it so as not come off prideful or something. He is having fun on his bike now and want to ride everyday.

School Christmas Performance

Owen's school had their annual Christmas performance his class sang "Santa Clause is Coming to Town". It was adorable his little face lit up when he saw all of us there cheering him on. He always talks about how embarrassed or nervous he gets in front of people but he did a great job today!

Pre Christmas Miracle

5 days shy of being 16 months and Davis is officially walking today.
