Landon Land

Christmas in Los Alamos

This year we spent Christmas in Los Alamos with Llon's family and had a very fun, relaxing time. It snowed one of the days we were there and while Llon was shoveling the driveway, Leta and Landon sledded down the driveway. It was cute to watch them. Landon enjoyed being spoiled by everyone. Here are some pics from the trip.

Landon and Jon pulling apart the wish bone from the turkey...Landon was left with the bigger half.

Here is me at 30wks pregnant.

Leta, Leonda, and Landon put together a gingerbread train. Landon thought gma Leota needed a little decorating too. He put the candy on her nose.

Here is Leta and Landon sledding down the driveway.

Landon all bundled up for the snow.

Sweet-Tarts anyone?

The other night at dinner I had cut open a pomegrante and told Landon it tasted kind of like a sweettart...well it got him to try it but now he thinks it is a sweetart. :)

Christmas Time

Last weekend we had a fun filled festive Saturday. Saturday night Llon and I took Landon to our towns candy cane hunt and lighting of the major's xmas tree. Santa was there and had many activites for the kiddos to do.

Saturday morning me and some girlfriends took our kiddos to breakfast with Santa. Here is Landon and Emory playing after storytime.

Here we are with Santa, Landon would wave at hime from far away but when we got close wanted nothing to do with him.

Landon and Emory holding hands while we walked down the sidewalk to store with the story.

Frosty was there too, this was Landon's favorite...well until we got close then he would just bury his head in my shoulder. But he talked about Frosty all afternoon to daddy when we got home.

Here is Miss Kate enjoying the bfast.

I got a little people nativity set this year for Christmas decor and Landon LOVES it. He loves finding Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the Angel, etc. He will sit and play with it for a long time everyday...it never gets old to him. Yesterday he went and got a baby blanket and wrapped baby Jesus in it.

Landon enjoyed putting ornaments on the tree this year. He also enjoys taking them off and playing catch with the red balls. :)

Last week Landon and I made Christmas sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun and we both got really messy! Landon wasn't sure about getting the flour on him at first, he kept going over and getting a rag to clean himself up with. Soon he lost the battle of staying clean and we both just laughed about it.

Two of Landon's cousins came to see him a few weeks ago. They all had matching superman pj's...which is really funny b/c we didn't even plan it. Notice Landon is trying to do what his cousins are doing. :) I also have a cute video of them all flying around the house. It's a must for Landon to fly when he has on his superman pj's.

Lawson Update: Lawson is growing and moving like crazy, sometimes I feel like there must be 2 of them in there. Landon and him are beginning to bond the larger my belly gets. The other day I had a fitted shirt on and Landon came up to my belly, kissed and hugged it and said "oh...big baby". So there you have it, a 2yr doesn't lie...Lawson is getting big. :) Sometimes Landon refers to the baby as baby brother and sometimes he refers to it as baby Jesus. We've been reading a lot of books about baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, etc. so sometimes when we talk about babies he asks if it's baby Jesus. We have a doc appointment next week for my glucose test and then we'll start going every 2 weeks...that's right, every 2 weeks. I was certain the doctor was wrong, but she assured me that I was starting my 3rd trimester and that we are only 12weeks away!! Here is a pic of me at 25wks.

Sonshine School update

Sorry no pictures...just wanted to share with you the note that Landon's teacher sent home with him yesterday. Landon goes to our church Sonshine school Tuesday's and Thursday's. He is really enjoying it. The teachers are always good about sharing a little something about your child that they did that day. Here was Landon's from yesterday:

"Landon was being chased by the ladies today. :) Olivia and Addie were chasing him and pulling him around. He eventually got tired of that and played on the slide."

I wish I had a picture to go with it. When I asked him about it he smiled and buried his head in my shoulder like he was embarressed. How fast he is growing up...

Fall

This was taken a couple of Sundays ago. Landon dressed up in his fall sweater and lovin on mom and dad.

Landon helping daddy with the leaves. :) He loved running thru them and tossing them up in the air.

Landon finds a cricket....

I forgot to add these pics to the previous post. One if of the group talking while some carved pumpkins and one is some of the kiddos playing.

Carving Pumpkins
