Christmas Part 2

Christmas morning we packed up the car and headed off to the airport where Eric dropped Owen and I off so we could get to my parents house. Since Eric had to work the day after Christmas, we were going to be traveling on Christmas regardless and instead of making Owen spend 7+ hours in the car on Christmas day, Eric offered to drive Santa's sleigh home while we traveled to my parents by air. Although it wasn't ideal, we made the best of it and surprisingly enough, Owen and I made it back in one piece -- it was my first time flying solo with Owen.

Our flight was easy and when we finally made it to my parents house, all of the traveling hit Owen and he was a mess. He ended up going to take a little nap break for an hour so he could recharge. Although we never fell asleep he did come out of his a room with a new attitude and was ready to start celebrating Christmas! 

We started by having some delicious food and when Eric arrived we were ready to open up presents!! Owen was overwhelmed with all of his gifts and loved everything and was pretty animated when he opened everything. He had no patients with cloths and would throw them at me and wanted to open up every toy he unwrapped at that very moment. But we were so lucky with everything we got. We all had such a wonderful time and it was so nice to spend the night with everyone.

The next morning, before Owen and I headed back to Boston, Owen got to go sledding with Papa and had a blast. I was inside watching and so you might have to click on the picture to zoom in but you can see how much fun they both had. Owen insisted that they take turns, so after Owen would go down the hill, Papa would take a turn and Owen would push him and then run after him, it was so cute.

Again, although it was a short visit, we were so lucky we were able to spend time with everyone and can't thank everyone for making our Christmas so special. We are all very lucky!!
