Merry Christmas!

Our first Christmas as a family of 3
We had such an amazing Christmas. Rowen was such a sweety through all the festivities. He missed a few naps here and there over the busy few days we spent with family but it didn't seem to faze him at all.
Christmas Eve is very special for my family. We had breakfast and opened a few gifts with my mom, dad, brother and Erin. Then we met up with my Grandma, and my aunt and uncle and thier 4 kids (Olivia 1 1/2, Charlie 4, Matt 10, Liz 14) for ice skating, a Christmas Eve tradition. We also played volleyball together for a few hours at Eastern's new Rec Center. We had such a good time. Then we spent the evening at my aunt and uncle's house eating homemade french onion soup and opening more gifts. Rowen had so much fun. He loved playing with Olivia and getting lots of attention from everyone.
Christmas morning Eric's mom, dad, and brother came over for breakfast and to open gifts. Rowen was once again thrilled with all the activity in our house and all the attention. Then later that day we had dinner with Eric's family and my family all together at our house. Rowen brought a new joy to our Christmas experience... when doesn't Rowen
bring a new joy to our lives?

Rowen getting ready to play some magical Christmas music for us
on his new piano from Nana and Grandpa. When he gets going on the piano he does a special little dance that involves shaking one of his legs :).


Rowen's new tunnel and tent set. We have half of it downstairs and half of it upstairs.
He enjoys this very much!
