Living away from family is felt most around the holidays, but having a small family of our own helps. As does having a loving family who is willing to exchange holiday wishes (and presents) from afar. Speaking to everyone on Christmas was great and here are some photos of our big day. We hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and is ready to have a fabulous 2012.
Not a creature was stirring, not even a slot-car.
This Christmas was by far the longest Owen ever had to delay gratification. I'm hoping it helped build a little character. Not that we need him to be more of a character or anything.
Ever the considerate soul, Owen made and decorated cookies for Santa and left the perfectly logical number of five carrots for Santa's eight reindeer. Notice the Brato cameo - his farewell appearance for the year.
All told, we had a wonderfully relaxed Christmas weekend and we hope everybody got what they wanted this year.

Eddy, Carrie, and Owen,
It looks and sounded like an absolutely wonderful Christmas. It is true that family is missed most during the Holidays. Having you guys and Nick and Tanya would have capped a near perfect Christmas. This year we really missed Kyle too, as he has been part of our early Christmas day ritual for so long that his absence was loud. Ah well, as the currents of our lives ebb and flow, we will continue to enjoy the magic and wonder of the season and it's gifts of joy.
I keep looking at these pictures in this Christmas section. While I do love them I can't help but have this strange feeling in the back of my mind I could not put my finger on. I got it today! It's Owen wearing shorts and Christmas tree in the same picture. That just should not be. You lucky bunch!!
