So this is Christmas...

Everyone says life changes when you have a baby and that is true. Holidays are so much more fun! Without further ado, here are our Christmas events.

You know it is almost Christmas when you see a sleigh about town.

We headed to Oak Creek on December 23rd to kick off the Christmas gatherings. First up, the Dunham Family Christmas Extravaganza! The party started with a visit by a group of carolers. My aunt, her sister and uncle led their grandchildren on a Christmas caroling tour. It was so precious!

Owen decided to show off his new skill of kissing. First one for Gram.

Next up a kiss for Granny.

I love Owen's face in this picture with Gram and Auntie T. He's a funny boy!

Here is Granny with most of her great-grandchildren. I love how Colton walked into the party and stripped into his diaper within 2 minutes.

Owen with his second cousins, Jordyn & Abby. These girls wanted to hold Owen all night.

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with Adam & Terese before heading to Jimmy's sister's house for a very LaCassa Christmas. Our Christmas Eve family photo.

Presents with Uncle Adam and Auntie T.

He was amazing with presents. He unwrapped them all himself and was mildly distracted with the paper, bowes and boxes.

Christmas Day was a very relaxing day at my mom's house. We spent the day in our pajamas and had a wonderful meal with my mom and Jimmy. Owen woke up excited for gifts from Santa!

This child loves presents.

The day after Christmas, Owen turned 7 months old. He is now over 20 pounds. He is seriously so much fun.

In honor of turning 7 months old, Owen decided to pull himself up on his new activity cube. Rusty was responsible and held the cube in place so Owen would not hurt himself. I had to grab the camera.

By the time Wednesday rolled around, Owen was exhausted. Luckily Auntie T came over and needed a nap before work.

Owen is clearly a genius and here is the photo to prove it. He may have been reading aloud to us here. We used to read to Owen before bed, but discovered that books were very exciting. When given the choice, Owen chooses a book over a toy. Let's hope this continues throughout his life!
