Stow House Christmas

Every year we go to the Stow House to see Santa, make a cookie in the old fashioned kitchen, pet the Christmas goats, drink hot cider, and make an ornament. It's a small town event that gets me in the Christmas spirit every time. Owen was a little scared of Santa this year. All day long he kept repeating that "maybe next year I will sit on Santa's lap, but this year I am sitting on Daddy's lap." Looks like he was hiding behind Emily, who looks a little freaked out herself! Later, Adam said that Owen was holding back the tears when he first sat down.

No tears.

Getting a little more upset....

Party's over!

Making his gingerbread man.

Every year Owen makes a cookie. It is always plain because he INSISTS on eating all the little candies by themselves instead of decorating his cookie. Oh well, he isn't a follower, that's a good thing! ; )

Owen made a gingerbread ornament for Emily. He wants to wrap it up for her on Christmas. So cute. He asked for a pink one since it was for his sister. : ) Of course they only had brown, but he decorated it with pink pom poms.

Eating his cookie out of the oven.

We went to feed the ducks after the festivities. It was a pretty nice day today in the mid to high 70's
