Thanksgiving, Tulsa, Santa = long post

You have been warned, this could end up being a pretty long post...sorry. We spent Thanksgiving with Llon's family this year in Los Alamos and Deming, NM. We had a wonderful time seeing family and watching Landon get spoiled.

Here's part of the family at Thanksgiving.

Landon all buddled up in Los Alamos.


Landon at the park with his cousins.


Landon and Aunt Leta playing the piano.


After NM we flew back to Tulsa where we had a fun time with the boys over the weekend. The boys made one pretty cool tent while we watched the football game Friday night. The plan was for us all to sleep down there...but that didn't happen. The tent was still a big success, the boys loved it!

Llon just loved playing with his cousins. I know he misses them already.

While we were in Tulsa my parents were there as well (mimi Kari and pa). They got Landon his 1st pair of cowboy boots and wranglers. I explain how cute he looks in them. He wore them to the xmas party and they were a huge hit. Thanks mimi and pa!


Here is the tent from the upstairs view.


We had our church xmas party last weekend where a very special vistor and his wife stopped by to see the kids. Santa and Mrs. Claus stopped by to read the kiddos a story and pass out presents. It was so cute to see all the kids reactions. Landon didn't mind going and getting a present from him, but he wasn't excited about sitting on his lap. Every kid has at least one pic of them crying on Santa's lap...right? Saturday morning we got up and got to see Santa again for breakfast. We went with Patricia and Emory. Landon was a little better with Santa, but still didn't want to sit on his lap. And for Frosty the snowman...he didn't want anything to do with him. (I think it's b/c Frosty didn't give him a present :) )

"Mom, why are you doing this to me again?"
"Stay away Frosty"
Emory wasn't so sure about Santa either.
And I will leave you with this pic of Landon sleeping the other night. Llon and I love to go in and see him sleeping before we go to bed. Landon has some pretty unique ways of sleeping...I've shared a few with you from time to time. Here he is glad to be back in his own bed.

Landon just got a christmas card from grandma Leota (gml)...it was a huge hit. You may have to turn your volume way up to hear it.
