Our Visit With Santa

Every year we go to see Santa at the Meadows mall. Last year was Landon's first Christmas (almost 10 months old) and first time on Santa's lap. We stood in the long line watching parents and photographers painstakingly trying to get screaming kids to smile (it's fine for a minute or two, but come on guys- move it along). Not us. When it was finally our turn and we set Landon on his lap he totally freaked out. They started jingling bells and trying to make him smile, but I had to stop them. I said just take it. It's a memory, and a dang funny one if I do say so myself. So here's last years picture with Santa. I LOVE IT!!! So classic. Bradley looks so handsome and then there's this crazed, red faced little boy screaming. Fast forward to this year. Landon is now almost 22 months and knows who Santa is and will always point out anything "Santa" that he sees. He LOVES Santa as a matter of fact. So we headed to the mall to go see the famous Santa. The whole time we were in line he was amazed that the real Santa was there. He would yell, "I love you Santa!". Very cute. So when it was our turn to go see him Landon would not let go of Frankie to sit on his lap. Eventually we pried him off. He had the most concerned look on his face as he tried to squirm away. The workers said, "Don't worry. We'll get him to smile." And I said "NO, just take it!" So this is what we got his year. Look at Landon's eyebrow's!

Once again I love it! This will be added to the collection of pics from years past with Santa that I put out every year. It's so fun to see how much they change.

He's a Dancin' Fool

I finally figured out how to upload videos! The boys and I always turn on the music channels and have dance parties. Here's Landon gettin' down in his flip flops. I love how half way through he gives Bradley (off camera) a big grin as if to say, "Yeah, you like my moves". Enjoy!

Why is it so hard...

to find a baby doll stroller that isn't pink?? I wanted to get Landon a doll (or in his case, a Build-a-Bear) stroller. Everywhere I've gone all they have is pink or purple. I'm sorry, but little girls aren't the only ones who like to push around their stuffed animals/dolls! My father-in-law gave me a hard time about wanting to get him one. I don't think it's weird at all! He WILL be a dad someday. I thought for sure I'd find one at Toys R Us tonight. Nope. So guess what?? I gave in and got a black Maclaren doll stroller ...with raspberry pink trim. Ha! It was the best I could do!!! It is mostly black. I hope Frankie doesn't think I'm crazy! Whatever. Landon won't care and I know he'll love it. I also got him a miniature broom. He loves to use mine, but knocks everything down because it's so big. And I'm pretty sure he's getting a little dirt devil vacuum. Boys can sweep, vacuum, AND push stuffed animals around too damn it!!!
