December has been really busy! The first week in December Paul surprised me and brought home a Christmas tree! He ditched the rest of his classes, stayed home and we decorated for Christmas! Here is our tree!
On the back of our chairs in the dining room, I have wreaths with ribbon and ornaments! I must say...Love them!
This is the first year we've lived somewhere that has a good spot for stockings! The only bad part....I have fake popcorn, berries, and candy canes on the garland....Landon tries to eat them when he's hanging out on the stairs! Silly boy!
Dining room shelves decorated for Christmas.
The first weekend in December, we took Landon to St Judes Children's ranch. There were all kinds of Christmas festivities and the money went to the organization. They had a Santa Claus there....it didn't go well!
Landon has an OBSESSION with horses! It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but here is Landon riding a little horse....he will sit on a horse and try to ride it...no matter what the size of it!
Landon also started wearing Daddy's stethoscope as a new accessory! Does this mean he wants to follow in Daddy's footsteps? We got him a Dr set for Christmas...we are excited to see his reaction when he gets his very own stethoscope to wear!
Attempt #2 with Santa...not good! This was at our ward Christmas party.
Landon got a hair cut from his Aunt Havy this month...at first his hair was just going to get a trim...well he moved around way to much and it turned into a BAD bowl cut! So....all of the hair came off =( It saddened me. And apparently it saddened him!
My mom and i took Landon to a little carnival on Water Street...here is Landon happy as can be on a horse!
There was a petting zoo as well...they had a 20 inch tall pony! Landon followed it around everywhere!
This month we also went to a super fun Christmas party! There were babysitters upstairs watching the kiddos, so we didn't have to! They had all kinds of crafts and goodies for the kids! Landon made a gingerbread house...with lots of assistance I'm sure....
and he made this ornament!
The same night of the Christmas party, which was a week ago from today, we left and went to Arizona to visit Paul's family. We got into town at 5:30 am! Crazy! We did lots of fun things on our trip there. We took Landon to Cabella's to look at animals...he loved it...he loves animals!
We also went to a house that had a petting Zoo in their back yard! This is Landon when we first got there with the ducks!
Aren't these the cutest goats you've ever seen???
Here's Landon and me with the horses! There were so many animals there....ponies, little donkey's, ducks, goats, pigs, lambs, sheep. Paul got to milk a goat...and I got to bottle feed a lamb! It was so cute watching the little lamb drink from a bottle!
Family picture in front of some hay!
We also went to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights! Right when we drove up to the Temple, Landon said "Temple" it was so precious...usually when he sees a temple, he says "Jesus," but this time he said "Temple."
After the Temple, Paul let Landon sit in the drivers seat of his truck...this excites Landon!
We did Christmas early with Paul's mom, sister and her boyfriend. Here is Landon opening some of his gifts! He got some cute cars pillow books! He loves these! he also got some Lego's which he really loves!
Aunt Havy also got him this really cute beanie at Janie and Jack...there's also a matching shirt!
Paul's mom got Landon this igloo looking tent and train set! We set up his tent and new toys and he had fun for hours!
The day after we got home from AZ, Paul, Landon, my brother, my Mom, and Me went to Build-A-Bear. My mom wanted to take Landon there for his final Christmas gift...we thought it would be more fun if he got to pick out his animal himself. I really wanted him to pick the dog...there were so many cute and fun accessories for the dog...but the second Landon saw the horse...the dog didn't matter! I spent many minutes trying to convince him to get the dog! It didn't work! here's my brother Ross and Landon with his horse before getting it stuffed!
Stuffing the horse...Landon had a hard time letting it go long enough to get the horse stuffed!
Here's Landon giving his horse a bath!
Us getting the horse dressed...there weren't really many horse things to choose from, so he has a saddle, bridle, and a bandanna.
...And of course he had to take a ride on the horse...the whole store was watching him ride his horse! It was cute!
Us getting the horse named...his name is Horsie...Landon isn't really at the age yet where he names things...we figured Horsie is what he'd be calling it, so Horsie it is!
Here's the family after a fun time at build a bear =) Thanks mom for taking us!
This month has been fun! There's still another week of fun up ahead...especially with Christmas tomorrow! I can't wait to see Landon's face light up!
