Owen is getting SO big! He loves to sit and watch the family move about so I pulled out the Bumbo chair that my mom and dad bought for him. We have never had one before and Owen just LOVES it! I think he looks so cute sitting up like a big boy!
This Monday we went and picked out our tree! Once again...just like last year...we found the perfect tree the moment we walked in. Last year we remembered how anti climactic it felt to be done so quickly that even though we had our tree we walked around for a bit looking at all the shapes and sizes that trees come in. Then we had our traditional dinner (breakfast) at IHOP...including hot chocolate!Then last night we pulled out our family ornaments and decorated the tree. Each year we get the kids a new ornament that depicts a mile stone or event from the year.
Noah got a skateboarder...in honor of receiving his first board for his birthday...
This fall Zach started taking piano lessons...
Bailey has been obsessed with her "strawberries"(she has the house, car, pool, dolls...etc...she can play for hours...)
Max LOVES cars. He LOVES watching the movie CARS. I felt so bad...when we showed him his ornament he refused to let us put it on the tree. When it was time for bed we had to pry it from his screaming mad hands...poor kiddo...maybe next year he will understand what an ornament is for...
and Owen received his "baby's first Christmas" ornament.I love having traditions that we all look forward to. It makes the holidays special in our home!

I love that tradition of yours! What a fun way to celebrate the year!
Owen DOES look so big!
Is Owen as big as your babies normally are? He looks so tiny to me in that chair. I love all of the pictures!
Those are so cute! I think in about ten years you are going to need to get two trees to hold everything!! Thanks for sharing!
