On December 26, 2009 we fed Owen some big boy food....cereal with a spoon!! He pulled some really funny faces and Daddy captured it on video!!! Since then, Owen has had one serving of sweet potato and he seemed to like it. And this morning, Owen had his second serving of cereal and ate it all up with less ugly faces!

Christmas in Texas
Last Friday we drove to Orange Texas to celebrate Christmas with the McReynolds family. It took us 10.5 hours to drive down there and Owen was a real trooper. That evening, Owen got to meet his great grandparents (Mamaw (Waunice) and Papaw (JD)). Then on Saturday, he met many many family members including the newest one, Greyson (12 days old and a great-great grandson to Mamaw and Papaw!).
We then drove to Dallas-Fort Worth with Nonnie and Pop to spend a few days there. We rested on Sunday and enjoyed a visit from friends that came over to meet Owen (the Lucke's and the Herold's). Our niece, Grace, also came over that evening and we shared dinner, exchanged Christmas gifts and watched her new Christmas movie (Santa Buddies!). On Monday, we took Owen to Portrait Innovations to have his pictures done. He was a perfect little model and we got some great shots.
Monday night, Mommy went out with some great girlfriends that she used to skate with. And on Tuesday, Daddy took a test for his online Accounting class and later that evening, we met the Gallian's out for dinner. It was a packed-full few days, but it was great to spend time with Nonnie and Pop.
Owen has mastered rolling over from his back to his belly. And, he is really starting to push up. Won't be long before he starts crawling around!

Christmas Eve
Our first Christmas Eve with Owen has come and gone. Owen was baby Jesus tonight in our church Christmas Eve service. He was perfect! He slept until we got up front and then all he wanted to do was stare at Daddy (Joseph!). Mom (Mary) was holding him the whole time, and is paying for it now (sore back and arms!). It was such a nice service and precious memories were made. Owen is sleeping, so Santa can come a bit early. We are looking forward to a great day tomorrow.

Our first family Christmas Tree
Last night we bundled up and went to a Christmas tree farm here in Oxford to cut down our own Christmas tree. It is actually our first family Christmas tree, as we have not put one up in recent years because we have never been home for Christmas.
Here is the Christmas tree farm:
Mommy and Owen
Daddy cutting down the tree
It was tough work for Owen. He fell asleep on the one minute drive home.
The undecorated tree
Stay tuned for the decorated tree (it is done...but we have not taken the pic yet!).
