We had such a fun Christmas. Daxton really got into it this year and that made it so much fun! He was always singing Christmas tunes, talking about Santa, and completely obbsessed with all the fun things going on. We tried to do lots of fun things with him so that he could really enjoy the season too. Thanksgiving Point is really close to our house and we heard that they had Santa's reindeer there to visit. To say that he LOVVVEEEEDDDDD the reindeer would be this years understatement! He is like his dad, like anything with big ol' antlers.
We went to New Mexico this year for Christmas to spend it with Landon's family. There are always lots of fun traditions and parties to go to when we visit. We spend Christmas Eve with one of Landon's uncles and his family. Yummy food, a great program, and a visit from Santa!
Christmas morning was so fun for Daxton! His Aunt Meme let him sleep in her room while we were there so we was waking up at like 4 or 5 in the morning. I am still tired! Anyway, so we were up EARLY to see what Santa brought. He loves his new Thomas the Train track, LOVES it. Infact, we have never taken it down. Good job Santa.
Nana and Papa got him a new tricycle! It is the cutest dang thing I have ever seen! It is like a little road rally/Harley lookin' bike. Adorable.
All gussied in Christmas duds for church. I really loved Christmas on a Sunday this year. It was a great way to focus on Christ and what Christmas is all about.
Goofy little googely-eyed guy!
Landon's grandpa has a tractor and had been wanting to take Daxton on it for a long time and it finally worked out. If you know Daxton at all, you know that anything having to do with tractors is like sweet HEAVEN for him. So this was a real treat! His grandparent just left on a mission to Florida so this was a sweet moment for them to spend together.
And finally, we always have a party with Landon's mom's family. It's always a great time. They cook an excellent meal and we have a white elephant gift exchange.
The kids waiting patiently to open their gifts (except for Daxton). I guess he just couldn't wait one....more......second!
Megan (aka, Meme or Landon's sister) works for the theaters in town as a secretary so she can schedule the theaters for early in the morning if she wants. So we all got loaded up for a 9am showing of the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie! It was Daxton's first movie theater experience and he loved it! He just sat there and watched the whole thing, with popcorn of course. The kid could love on popcorn alone.
Well, I feel better now that I am finally getting this posted! I am trying to be better at blogging and in the process of turning it all into a book. I want my kids to be able to see everything that we did while they were growing up. Wish me luck!!!!
