Party People

We had a great, busy weekend! We celebrated our family Christmas on Saturday a.m. and had a wonderful morning!

Landon's also got a Hummer. He loves it but it tires us out b/c he has NO concept of how to steer (but he doesn't want mommy or daddy to touch the steering wheel to straighten him out).
He can do it BY HIMSELF!!!

This was his 1st time in his truck--clearly, he didn't understand the need to steer. : ) I wasn't quite ready for the "Look, mom! No hands" trick yet!

We then headed to the big "W" also known of Watauga and celebrated Gwen's 5th birthday! Big L had a blast and also loved the treats. : )

Note: ALL of the other kids are done eating & are off playing. Big L was not done eating yet. : )

Later that evening, Aaron and I headed out to the 2nd Annual Tacky Christmas Sweater Party!

Tonight, we had an fabulous evening with great friends for a little Christmas celebration!
Here Landon is with his beloved Jaime. He absolutely adores her. Sometimes when he is upset, he cries "My want Jaime! Jaime!"

I know that all parents think that their kid is the best and we are clearly no exception. Landon is so fun and talkative lately and just surprises us every day! Here he is reading books with daddy!

I also have been trying to get a video of him singing. For some reason, he will sing often but NOT when I get out the video camera. I finally got him to sing a bit but we got interrupted:

(WARNING: I had to sing a bit also and it isn't so pretty. I have never claimed to be a singer!)

Then, he got his 2 year old 'tude going & decided he was DONE!

So, I had a little chat with Landon. I had a really inspiring heart to heart with him that got him to change his 'tude around. Okay, maybe not so much. I bribed him--I'm not too proud. The 'ole boy just wanted to go into the store because he knows that they have sample snacks. So, yeah, I told him that he could have a snack if he sang....it's all about speaking your child's language. So, he half heartedly obliged so he could get to the snack already....

It cracks me up that he was so anxious to be done but again, the snack was waiting and Landon was clearly wasting away....
