Christmas Part II

The week before Christmas most all my sisters got together to decorate sugar cookies! It was so much fun with Christmas music and tons of decorating tools. Everyone loved playing with Owen and I even helped Owen frost a sugar cookie ;)

Then the week after Christmas when we got back from Washington, we had a Barnes family day with a delicious dinner, presents and games. My parents and sisters were so thoughtful with thier gifts and everyone was happy to have all seventeen of us together!

The Christmas Story

Well, on Tuesday the 22nd we headed out to Walla Walla, Washington to spend Christmas with Kent's family. Owen did super on the drive and had tons of fun being held my his Stringham family as he smiled and talked to everyone. Owen only had two power naps on Christmas Eve day because of all the excitement so Christmas morning we finally woke him up last so that we could take a few pictures and open his presents. Here he is bright eyes, a little disoriented and spoiled.
Kent and I got each other a suprise present.

Great Grandma Stringham made Owen this little hat.

We had a great Christmas program, but I think Kent was a little too sleepy (me too).

My mom helped me to make these stockings, she is amazing and when I didn't get any of the designs put on, she secretly worked on them and suprised me, I will put more fun Christmas symbols on them for next year, but they are great!

And dunt ta dun! Here is the Andes mint wreath, so much fun!
