We had a second Christmas this past Saturday when some of our family members were able to make it to our house. Owen thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention and insisted that everyone participate in the fun activities he had planned for the evening.
We started off with a family band. Owen broke open is tub of instruments and passed them out to mom, dad, Stephanie, Grandpa, Grandpa (yes, they have the same name apparently), John and Kevin. Sometimes he'd take instruments away or have people switch instruments if they were unable to perform to his standards. Most songs were short and ended with Owen's enthusiastic round of applause.
Later, Owen instructed us it was time for "circle." Also known as musical pillows. He found it unacceptable for anyone to just sit and watch. He'd pull everyone off the couch and have them running in circles around the pillows. People tried to escape but he'd pull them back into the circle.
Don't you worry, I have pictures of this all to come.
