We had a great Christmas celebrating the birth of Christ both as a family and with family. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning here at our home just the three of us. It was a really special time. Christmas Eve we went to the 4:00 service at church and then enjoyed some Chinese Food (a Purdy Family Tradition) and a funfetti birthday cake for Jesus. We read the story of Jesus' birth in Luke 2 and then went to bed. Christmas morning we enjoyed monkey bread and scrambled eggs before opening gifts. Owen thought it was funny that it was called "Monkey" bread! Opening presents was fun too - Owen enjoyed both opening the paper carefully AND seeing what was inside. After he opened his presents, he said "yay!" and then "opit" (open). We went to Matt's parents for the rest of the week and enjoyed spending time with his folks and siblings. We then spent one night with my parents too. It was a busy time, but a great way to celebrate! Here are some pictures to capture it all.

My family has a tradition of taking our picture on the steps Christmas Morning. So, here we are in our PJ's.

Related to his daddy? Owen is quite bothered by the small piece of tape stuck on his finger. Like father like son. I pray he is like is daddy in more ways than one!

I can't believe how big Owen is either! He's so cute. It was good to hear from you!
