Owen and I decorated the Christmas Tree. Daddy and him had put the lights on the night before along with the star which is really the highlight. Owen put a couple of decoartions on the tree (his favorites are a black lab and yellow lab ornament which he calls Nellie and Lucy and they don't stay on the tree for too long.....he likes to pull them off and line them up on the table, his tractor ornament and a train ornament with his name on it).
Friday night we participated in the Christmas parade in town. It was FREEEEEZING! Owen was all ready to go with a battery operated candle to carry, but it was too cold for him (well atleast mom thought so) So, he sat in Grandpa and Grandma Smith's truck and watched the parade from there. Mommy snuck in too before the end of the parade.....I was FREEEEEZING too! Later that night (8:45), the Canadian Pacific Christmas Train was due to be in town. We knew Owen would love it, but we were alittle worried about how late it was going to be. We decieded to take him anyways. And we are so glad we did. Owen LOVED it.....when the train stopped he wanted to get on. I think next year we are going to have to take him on the ride part.
Satruday we did a little Christmas shopping and Owen spent the afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa Webinger. I think they were all worn out by the time we picked him up! Later that evening we cuddled in and watched Christmas shows. Owen loves them all, especially the Polar Express, The Grinch, and Charlie Brown. We also spend a lot of time building towers with blocks and running around the house......it is going to be a LONG winter. However, Owen doesn't seem to mind the cold, snow, rain, or sleet.

This boy loves to have his picture taken.....sometimes.....here he is posing with his tower
Sunday was full of sledding, playing with Grandpa Smith, Packer game, and helping Grandma Smith make some Christmas goodies. I can't believe Owen is not scared to sled at all. In fact he loves it! Ethan had to bribe him with a treat to come inside. He even walks all the way back up the hill by himself. We are really having a blast with him right now.
