Merry Christmas

We hope everyone had a great Christmas this year!! We had a really good one. We spent Christmas Eve up at Adam's parents and then Christmas Day at my parents. I was too nice this year and picked up Christams Eve at work, so I went in at 11 pm after the family party and got home about 7 am on Christmas Day :( Needless to say I was a little tired on Christmas, which explains how I forgot to take the camera to my parents and get any pics :( Adam and I got very spoiled this year, so thanks again to our folks!! We got a new TV and a Playstation 3 which I say is more for adam than me :) He is currently playing Transformers as I'm typing this :) His parents gave him an awesome fishing rod which he is chomping at the bit to go use. Landon got all sorts of toys that I can't even remember what all he got!

Christmas Eve the grandkids all helped decorate Grandma and Grandpas tree so that Santa would come to their house.

Landon opening his Christmas PJs, that he refused to put on :) Crazy kid!

Adam's Grandparents gave all the Grandkids these cute teddy bears. I didn't realize how much Landon liked them until I saw his reaction opening this one :)

Christmas morning we opened gifts when I got home, had some cinnamon rolls and then I was out the second my head hit that pillow :)

*just in case anyone notices the presents in the background (which I'm sure you are going to scroll up and look now) but my hubby has this thing with wrapping. He loves to make presents impossible to open and prides himself on using multiple rolls of tape on one present. Which is why there are presents wrapped in duct tape :)

Adam needed tools, so he had a power tool Christmas from me :)

Adam's parents stopped by Christmas morning to exchange gifts.

AAHH, Young Love!

I think I have mentioned before how much Landon absolutely adores my friend Katie's lil girl Bella. They are so funny together. Bella refers to Landon as "her landon", she will fight with you tooth and nail that, "NO! He's my Landon!" and Landon gets so excited to see her. If you ask him who his girlfriend is, he says "bella". They get into SOOO mush mischief together and are always hiding in closets and under beds together. I know, we're in trouble! It's so funny cuz one minute they are beating each other up and the next they are all protective of one another. It's so cute :)

Winter Wonderland

Landon loves snowmen and ever since the snow stuck to the ground, he has been asking to go outside and build a snowman. So, yesterday afternoon we played in the snow :)

Landon was a lot of help. He sure has how to build a snowman down!

The finished product :)

i did help too, I'm just always the one behind the camera :)

Next, we decided to build a snow fort. This thing is decked out! It is equiped with a lookout post, tunnel, slide, and it even has a couch!! :)

It's hard to see due to the white on white, but this is our Fort :)

The Tunnel

Every fort needs a slide :)

READY for Christmas!!

So I have to brag for a moment and say that I am DONE with my Christmas shopping! YEAH :) The stores and roads are CRAZY!! I'm so glad I don't have to go out in it again! This week we did a ton of fun stuff with our good friends Mitch and Katie, but stupid me forgot the camera, so sorry... No Pics :( We were supposed to all go down to St. George together for the weekend, but after hearing the weather forecast we decided not to go. So, instead we had a staycation :) Thur we all went to eat at La Ferrovia and then took the kids to see Planet 51. It was really cute! Landon has a crush on katie's lil girl, Bella, and it's so funny to see how he tries to protect her and take care of her one minute and then the next he is pushing her down and stealing her toys. Mitch had to take Bella out of the theater for a minute and Landon kept yelling at him "Put Bella Down!!" Boy are we in trouble already with those 2 :)
Friday night we took the kids to see the lights at Christmas Village and then had dinner at Mitch and Katie's and had a Wii night. I am the worst at Mario cart :( I think I came in 12th place during every race!
Today Adam and I both went out to finish up our Christmas shopping and then we all went to eat at Tepanyaki's. It was Landon's first time there and he loved the FIRE. He kept wanting the chef to do it again. He wouldn't try any of the food, but atleast he learned how to use chopsticks :)
Thanks again Mitch, Katie, Andrew, and Bella! We had a great staycation! Can't wait til spring when we actually go to St. George :)

SuperHero Party

Landon had his 3rd birthday last week! I can't believe my baby boy is already 3! We had a superhero party because Landon is really into spiderman right now. So on the invitations it asked everyone to dress up as their favorite superhero or make up their own. Landon was spiderman, except he wouldn't put on the costume, so technically he was Peter Parker at the party :) I was Jeanaism. My in-laws have given the title of a Jeanaism to anything stupid anyone says (long story :) ) so I turned it into my superhero. Adam was super dad and apparently didn't need a costume to be super dad "cuz he already is". The family got really creative, we had a super drama queen, super soccer fan, super daddy's girl, spider woman, static-cling, super dog woman, super purple princess, captain chaos, scuba steve, optimus prime, super grandma, super stink, super candle-man, and my good friends Katie and Mitch and their kids Andrew and Bella all came as their super selves. Thanks guys for dressing up, Landon had a Blast!!!

Here are the kids running around in the front room

Landon's Oma and Opa couldn't make the party, but they came to the house the day before and brought him an awesome Spiderman cake.

Landon's big surprise this year was a playhouse for the backyard from his Grandma and Grandpa Flynn. We set it up in the playroom for now. It was crazy trying to keep all the kids out of the playroom until it was time for the big reveal, since that's usually the first place they all go and play. Landon loves it! Thanks again grandma :) It keeps him entertained for hours :)
