New Hampshire Christmas

Celebrating Christmas w/ Daddy's side of the family, in NH.

Owen & Santa

Owen got an early Christmas present from Aunt Mo & Alex. He is fascinated with the musical,moving Santa (& his snow pants, which he didn't want to take off).

Arts & Crafts

Owen made coffee mugs for his daycare teachers & a candy house with me.

Decorating the Tree

After the ice storm, we finally got our tree. We stayed small & low key this year & let Owen do all of the decorating.

Spaghetti Time!

Daddy is so proud, the Italian in Owen is coming out w/ his new found love of spaghetti w/ sauce!

Fun with No Power

Like most of southern NH, we were hit pretty hard by the ice storm. Fortunately, we have a gas fireplace & town water, so we had heat & water. And we were very, very lucky & got our power back on Saturday!!

Feel Better Daddy!

Daddy has had a rough few weeks & has quite the combo of things wrong w/ him. Owen has been giving him lots of cuddles & helping to take great care of him!

Christmas Portraits

I'm not thrilled w/ Owen's Christmas pictures (just aren't as good as some past pics) but he is still pretty cute :-)

Christmas Card Pictures

I don't think Owen liked our idea for Christmas card pictures! Once we put the camera away, he started to get more into the lights, antlers etc.

The Alpaca Farm

I went to Sarah's baby shower this afternoon, so Owen, daddy, Auntie Cheri & Uncle Brian went to a local alpaca farm for an open house. I am so jealous, I love alpacas! Owen was a little nervous to feed them at first, but warmed up quickly & didn't want to leave. The woman who owned the farm was very friendly & passionate. She even gave Steve some alpaca wool to bring home to me to see if I am allergic to it (apparently most people who are allergic to wool aren't allergic to alapaca wool). Uncle Brian bought some alpaca wool socks to keep his feet toasty warm this winter.

It looks like a fun day & I hope to go back with them sometime,
