Owen's First Christmas

I'm a little bit behind schedule, but I better update about the holidays. I was getting really worried that we weren't going to make it home to Elkader for Christmas. The weather was not cooperating very well, but we did make it, thankfully. On Christmas Day we went to my aunt and uncle's for Christmas lunch, which was fantastic as usual. Owen got to meet lots of new people! Later that night was our family Christmas and presents and Owen got some books and clothes.

Sunday the 27th was Christmas on the Kuehl side and my dad's birthday. We went to my grandma's and again had some awesome food and played some games. Owen got to meet some more new people. We had a lot of fun playing games. Catch Phrase, Taboo, and Clue! It's been such a long time since any of us had played Clue but it was a lot of fun. I'm not very good at it, but my dad is. He's extra secretive and really gets into it. Ever since we played games at Christmas, Ryan and I have been checking out the game aisles in Wal-Mart and Target for some games. We want to start getting friends together to have game nights, since we can't go out as much as we used to.

So all in all, Owen's first Christmas was low key, but really fun. I was just glad that everyone could make it to Elkader and got to meet the little guy. It's also nice to be around family so that we get some help with Owen and a little free babysitting! :) Ryan and I got to get out for a few hours a couple of nights which was nice. I wish my parents lived in Cedar Falls so we could take advantage of that more often! :)

The three of us!
