December, December, DECEMBER!

December was a lot of fun for us! I absolutely LIVE for the month of December! I love the Christmas music, all the lights and decorations, putting up our decorations, the snow (except for snow on the roads) Shopping for Christmas gifts, the kindness of people, absolutely everything!! I actually start getting depressed about 2 weeks before Christmas because i know it's going to end soon. But it was a wonderful time and it was a lot of fun having Landen be able to understand it a little better. Landen learned that Santa says "Ho, Ho, Ho Merrrrrry Christmas!" Except is sounds like, Ho Ho Ho Merrrrrry Pipmas! He loved watching the Christmas shows and "Rudolph".

Here's a few pictures from early December.

Another Story: I was sitting on the couch feeding Kaylee and watching Landen. He was taking off his shoes and then his socks. Once his socks were off he got a funny look on his face and decided to take his socks and PUT THEM ON MY TREE!!! He turned around and said, "Look mom!" He was so proud of himself for putting another "ornament" on the tree. It was so cute i had to leave them up! SO yes, i had a pair of Landen's dirty socks on my tree until Christmas!

"Pampa", Greg and Kelli came to visit for about 2 weeks during Christmas. It was wonderful to have them here! Landen had a blast with them! It was great to be able to visit and celebrate Christmas with almost my whole family! But we missed "Mimi" waaaay to much!

We did have a lot of fun being able to take Landen to play in the snow! He had a great time too! We had SOOOO much snow and it lasted several days which was great! Landen chased the dogs around and again tried to be a dog and ate the snow with them. I taught Bubba and Daisy to hold onto the rope and run around pulling Landen on his sled which he thoroughly enjoyed! Bubba had a fun last couple of days and played so hard! We all miss him very much!!

Kaylee also had a great December, she was finally able to get her baby blessing! It was great to have my Dad be able to be here as well. Susan made her a beautiful blessing dress and everything went great! Thanks to all those who came!
