Christmas Vacation 2008


Let me first say that I cannot figure out how to arrange pictures on this blog and after much frustration, I'm letting it go and just allowing them to be totally mixed up. Otherwise, the computer is going to be in my front yard next to the "for sale" sign. Anyway, Landon's first Christmas was a blast, exhausting at times because he didn't exactly travel well, but very memorable. Since the pictures are all jumbled up, I'll tell the story and you get to find the corresponding picture--like a little seek and find game! Our journey started the Sunday before Christmas when we went to visit Uncle Brad and Aunt Christy, Jackson, and Savannah in Tennessee. We had such a great time watching the kids play and spending time together. Then, we spent Monday through Christmas morning in Louisville at BeBe and Poppy's house. On Christmas Eve night, Landon got to meet my aunt, uncle, and cousins (Denise and Rusty, Ashley and Trey) and my grandma for the first time--sorry no pictures- I goofed and forgot to take pictures! The Christmas morning pictures are pretty easy to find- Landon's wearing the Santa hat and then with BeBe and Poppy in front of the tree. Then, we headed to Uncle Bill and Aunt Kim's house to celebrate Christmas in Cincinnati. There's a great picture of Benjamin, Nathan, David, and Ruthie patiently waiting on Great Grandma to finish opening her gifts before they got to open theirs..... I entitled it "Waiting". Landon got to meet Great Grandma for the first time Christmas Day. She really wanted him to eat some mashed potatoes! He also got to spend some quality time hanging out with Nana, Aunt Lora, Uncle Jerry, David, and Ruthie. Landon really enjoyed looking at David's puppets. He kept trying to eat them! Just before we left Cincinnati, I was afraid Landon was getting sick with an ear infection, but when I took him to the doctor, his ears were just fine. He's just teething! Daddy says we're not going anywhere for a very long time because Landon doesn't sleep well in his pack and play, which means we don't sleep either. We did have a great time visiting with everyone and making some great memories of Landon's first Christmas!! Thanks to everyone for making our trip so special!!!
