Christmas Time

Ever notice how we spend forever getting everything 'just right' for Christmas and in the blink of an eye, it's over? Yep. Me too.

It was a great Christmas as usual though!  Lot's of family time and celebrating this wonderful season of life!

We truly have SO much to be thankful for!

A few days before Christmas, Trissa & me finished up a few Christmas gifts, so Uncle TT (as the little mister has now named him) "watched" the kiddos and tried to keep them out of our hair.

Harli would love nothing more than for someone to hold her like this ALL.DAY.LONG

The little mister obviously had lots of his own work to do as well.

I didn't get any pics over at Big Daddy's Christmas celebrations (kinda hard to when I didn't take my camera. fooey.) We celebrated with them at lunch on Christmas eve then headed to my parents for dinner!

Have I ever mentioned that I sometimes despise this blog business?

It won't let me move these pics where they're supposed to be.

We got new outdoor heaters from mom & dad!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and remembered why we celebrate this time of season!

Santa, can you hear me?

Dear Santa,

I promise I've been good this year.

Well. Mainly good. 

I've had moments where I think I could've been better.

after covering his body in lotion (by himself)

I'm usually nice to my sister.

I usually listen to what my parents tell me to do.

I'm trying to learn to share better.

after soaking up all the water out of the toilet

I say please and thank you.

I throw my trash away.

I put my silverware in the sink.

So Santa, can you please stop at my house tonite? I promise I'll be even better next year.

Love,

Landry

All Rolled into One!

Prepare yourself for some major randomness!
