Christmas Eve is always spent with my family. We have a fun party every year that includes, but is not limited to: delicious food, giant in the sky fireworks, people dressing up in fun costumes, trivia game with awesome prizes, lots of laughing, and lots of fun!
The cute ornament I ordered for him
Rowan in his favorite present! He LOVES his jumparoo!
My mom bought a bounce house for the kids and Rowan wanted to try it out!
Here is the Christmas Parade!
Derek was excited to get his very own Nintendo DS!
We came back home on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas morning at our house before going back to my Mom's. We had so much fun opening presents from each other. We both went a little crazy this year, but feel fortunate that we are in a position to do so. Rowan really enjoyed pulling the paper off of the presents and then trying to eat it! He was so happy all morning and I was so grateful that we have him in our lives.
Rowan and his giant stocking that my Grandma Nilsson made for him! It's really special because she passed away before ever getting to meet him, so it's something that I really treasure.
Rowan is excited that he got some new clothes
A little story behind the dental floss. Derek and I were grocery shopping and I saw that they had Christmas Captain Crunch! I was so excited and just had to have it to make my mornings full of Christmas cheer. Derek was making fun of me saying that I would buy anything if it had a Christmas theme...even Christmas dental floss. So what did he put in my stocking...red and green floss! I have such a cute husband!
I made the boys matching pajama pants and shirts. They sure do look mighty cute in them.
Rowan and all of his loot that Santa brought him.
We went back to my parents in the afternoon and she had more presents for us! They are always so generous and thoughtful with the gifts they give us! They bought Rowan the cutest little John Deere cowboy boots! They actually stay on his feet too! He looks so cute in them. They picked me out a food grinder with fruit and vegetable strainer for my KitchenAid! It's awesome! I already made Rowan peas and carrots with it. I can't for him to try them! I plan on making all of his baby food, so this was a much needed gift.
Rowan and his new boots!
Christmas night we spent with Derek's family and had a delicious meal. We brought our Wii so that we could all play Rock Band and it was tons of fun! Rowan got the cutest Leapfrog drum from Dallas & Bonnie. He loves to eat it!
Overall it was such a great Christmas and the best part was that we were able to spend time with all of our family!

We're in the process of making one. Derek's been wanting to make Rowan a facebook page and I keep telling him no, so when I told him that your son did he was totally jealous!!
