Owen and his new swing set

Owen loves his new swing set that Santa brought!!! Good thing Santa knows a little engineering and has lightning fast speed!!! (it was built in a mere 5 hours on Christmas eve! Santa is a pretty amazing guy!)

Christmas 2009

This will definitely be a Christmas to remember! I am still amazed at myself that I did not take NEARLY enough pictures this holiday season. SO much seemed to happen that I didn't catch on film. Nevertheless we had a great holiday. We first had dinner with the Corrales family, and Owen tried to steal a kiss from Jaidyn in front of the tree at the downtown square (with no luck, of course), then to our family picture that included our newest animals Izzy and Gerdie (that was an adventure! The goats were better than Owen! haha!!), next our Christmas get together that I did not take a single picture except for the Pregnant trio (Stacey, Shirley and I)
but we all had SO much fun, then to our beautiful falling tree 2 days before Christmas, and finally Christmas morning- that was an adventure!! I never would have thought a little boy could cry so much because Santa left presents for him!!! I will always remember Owen sitting in front of the Christmas tree with presents all around him crying " no, no, no!" haha!!! I felt so bad because he cried ALL day even at my parents house!!!! Good thing that crying does not affect my appetite, because Mom really made a great Christmas dinner! Even though Owen cried all throughout Christmas, David and I enjoyed spending the day with our family as the role of parents!

Owen and Brea at the Park

Owen's new playdate friend Brea are SO cute together! They really are a adorable site to see at the park. This day they were inseperable! I love that they were REALLY trying to move the telephone pole, unfortunatley their superman powers have not kicked in yet!! I love moments like these!

Owen at our Mommy and Me class December 2009

Owen and I go to a Mommy and Me class on Thursdays at the old Tuscawilla park. It is so much fun!! Owen is quite the Picaso- he absolutely LOVES to paint. He is a serious double fist painter!! Sometimes I think there is more paint on him, than there is on the picture! haha!!!

A day at Grandma's and Grandaddy's

What a great day to spend with my family in Daytona!! It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and we all had a blast!! Owen was such a ham, that I could not resist taking pictures of him with Grandma and Grandaddy! I am sure they were tired of the camera in their face, but hey I got some awesome pictures!!!Thank goodness for my craving for oysters, because I had the most delicous meal at Boondocks with everyone, and even a walk on the beach!! I bet it has been at least 10 years since my parents have been on the beach! What a great day!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

What a great Thanksgiving this year! We were blessed to spend it with all of David's family. The food was fantastic- especially the Turkey that David made this year, all 25 pounds of it. Eventhough it bent my oven rack, it was well worth it! Thanksgiving would not be complete without family football, the new tradition of the Hogan family picture, reading of the black friday sale ads, and just good times had by all!! This is what the holidays are about!
