Mowat Christmas

Wow...what a week. I wanted to post pictures sooner, but it has been crazy at home and at work! We have not spent any time as a family, which is hard, but I feel the worst for Titus because he doesn't understand. It just breaks my heart to see how much he misses us and wants to be with us - he was crying so hard when I left him at the babysitter's this morning - he usually never cries! Stephen has put in 30 hours in the last 2 days for the church, not to mention Sunday, a full 8 hour day on Tuesday, plus he has to work 4 hours this morning! Yikes...and some people think all pastors do is preach!! Ha!

We left Thursday when I got out of work and headed up to Evart for Christmas with Stephen's family. We opened presents that night, played games and just relaxed on Friday, had Mowat Christmas with the extended family on Saturday late morning, and then left early afternoon so Stephen could be back for church on Sunday. Here are some pictures from our trip:

Titus had no idea that this bow was on his head for like 15 minutes! :)

This one just made me laugh...Stephen was pointing out a lion and making the animal sound...hence the face :) I think it is funny because it looks like Stephen is angry and I am about to hit someone :) :)

The Mowats

Payton and Lara...too cute not to post :)

Of the cousins that were there on Saturday, this is all the "original" cousins with Grandma Mowat

Sounds like you had fun!! It was great to see the cousin pictures!! It is hard sometimes to stay close to cousins as you grow up!

I loved that track and field game! But my brother was much better at it. We lived in a mobile home at the time, and I could always tell before entering the house if he was playing -- the whole house shook! Ah, the good ol' days...

I'm glad you all were able to come to the Mowat Christmas gathering! Dave had a blast playing that Track & Field game with Stephen:)
