Today all the Owsleys came over to celebrate Christmas. This is our first Christmas without Gey which was hard. She would have loved this gathering though and that made it very special. I hosted for the first time and loved having everyone here, so did the boys.
We played, ate some great food (that I can't take credit for at all) and then let the little ones open presents before heading to bed.
I love dressing the boys in matching outfits.
Apparently I get that trait from Gey as she did the same thing to my Uncles Larry and Pat when they were little.
Miles isn't feeling well and was so so tired. He still had fun, but by this point it was pretty obvious he was ready for bed.
This was the first time most of us got to meet the newest Owsley, David. Since his dad's name is David as well I think most of us started calling him Little Dave. Hope the parents don't mind.
Jax was all about helping the baby open his presents.
When it was time for the boys to head to bed I got them all changed into their pjs and then let them say goodnight. Jax went around and gave everyone a hug.
It might not be up there with the exit of the Von Trapp kids, but it sure was precious.
Gatherings like these are why I love the holidays, just taking time to slow down and visit with family.
It was great.
