I don't think that Landon could believe his eyes when the tree was carried into the house. It made that much more amazing to him. Our little guy danced around the house the whole time we were getting the tree set up and did it with the biggest smile on his face. I think he loves this tradition!!! (it's way better than dying Easter eggs!!!) The best part was when I started to water the tree, Landon brought his sippy cup over and started to dump it into the tree stand. He is so observant and loves to help out. Next came the lights. Landon and lights go hand and hand. He loved helping with this part. Actually he ran around the living room holding onto the lights and flinging them all around. It was so much fun just watching the excitement in his eyes. The tree is now decorated and Landon has been un-decorating it ever since!!!

Landon's First Christmas Tree

This year we went to our favorite place to get our tree, Boyer's Tree Farm. The place was pretty bare so we had to hike way in to find the right tree. Landon didn't mind one bit. He loved every single tree on the farm. He didn't want to be held at all. He wanted free reign to run around and explore. He would run around and point way up to the top of every tree and give us the look of wonder. He was absolutely amazed!!!

We are Thankful for .......

Anybody need a plumber?

Landon woke up this morning with a mission. As soon as I carried him down stairs, he went out to his playroom, grabbed his socket wrench and went straight to the toilet and started pounding on it!!! I have always joked with Ian that it would be great to have a plumber in the family!!! I guess he just wanted to please his momma!

On friday, Landon and I visited daddy at school for a Halloween Party. Halloween is a pretty big deal at my husbands school. After a party with lots of sugar the kids get dressed in their costumes and parade around outside for all the parents to see. This was not Landon's first visit to 2nd grade but it was the first time since he started walking. Let's just say Ian's room is not baby proof. If I would have let him, Landon could have destroyed his daddy's classroom in a matter of seconds. He did manage to dump a whole box of rulers, a box of assorted shapes, he pulled all kinds of papers and pencils out of one kids desk, ripped papers off the magnetic board, and was seconds away from dumping a can of change and the ant farm my husband just ordered for his classroom. Let me just say that Landon keeps me moving. It is great exercise trying to keep up with a thirteen month old. I was curious to see what Landon would think about seeing all the costumes and really hoping there wouldn't be anything too scary for him. He wasn't at all afraid, he went right up to people he didn't even know. He loved the teacher who dress like a barrel of monkeys. This years theme for the teachers was "children's games." My husband being one of two male teachers in his school, thought it would be a good idea if he were to dress like the "old maid." Great idea Ian!!!
