Owen and Emily's World: Merry Christmas!

This was a fun year to watch Owen experience Christmas. He didn't have too much trouble going to sleep the night before as we had worn him out and kept him up later than usual at Endless Summer. Nana stayed the night on Christmas Eve which was nice for him to wake up and see her. In the morning he came right in our room, woke up Emily and we headed out to see what Santa had left. Adam had the Lionel train running around the tree and the stockings were stuffed to the brim.

Emily liked the packaging and wrapping paper the best : )

Owen got a new scooter from Granny Anna and couldn't stop riding it in the house back and forth all morning long. He loved it!

Every time Owen opened a present with a bow, he put it on Emily's head!

Emily LOVED her new Cookie Monster (from Nana) that is as big as she is!

I have to explain the next three pictures below. For 2 weeks there has been a present below the tree that Owen made for Adam at preschool. It looked like a big ball of masking tape with the sticky side up. Adam took a while unwrapping it all. Every time we asked Owen what is was, he would say "it's nothin.'"

Under the masking tape was a wrapped box.

And under the wrapped box was a ring box. And inside the ring box was NOTHING! We laughed so hard. Owen just sat there and watched him open the whole thing. He is such a little trickster!
