Landon's Christmas 2008

I sure hope everyone had as much fun this Christmas as Landon did! On Christmas Eve, we went over to Landon's Godparents house. As always, the food was wonderful and the company was even better. It is so amazing to me to see the loving bond Landon has with Aunt Barbie and Uncle Tommy. He certainly is a great judge of character! Landon got to help Aunt Barbie and I set up and light the luminaries and he even got to open a few presents. His Godparents got him a year membership to The Zoo and a Thomas the Train set (his absolute favorite). He will enjoy them both very much there is no doubt! Then it was back home and off to bed so Santa could stop by. This is the first year that Landon has truly understood that Santa was coming to town and I loved seeing how excited he was about his arrival! It was one of the easiest times I have ever gotten him to go to bed! BTW, did I mention that it was 65 degrees!!! Christmas in Florida... gotta love it!

On Christmas morning, Landon awoke to discover that Santa had indeed stopped by our house and left him quite a few presents. His favorite, a remote-control monster truck. Gi Gi and I spent the rest of the day trying not to get run over by the Ford F350! Did I mention that Landon thought that was funny? Mommy might have to remind Santa of that next year! Anyway, he also got a Diego Scooter from Gi Gi, a cool walking and roaring dinosaur, a military playset and some trains from Santa. Plus a couple of DVD's and some neat stocking stuffers. Let's just say he made out like a bandit! I loved watching his expression each time he opened a gift. It reminded me how wonderful childhood is and it was by far the best Christmas present I could have received! I did get a nice belated Christmas present on Saturday when my Seminoles kicked some Wisconsin Badger butt!!

To top it all off, we went to visit Ms. Gini in her new home which is absolutely beautiful and perfect for her! (Even though we hate how far away from us she is now!) We enjoyed our visit with her so much and can't wait to see her again, as always! Then we stopped by to see Grandpa Wagner and wish him a Merry Christmas! Then Landon's Dad came over and he and Landon played with, guess what? That's right.... that darn monster truck and they had a wonderful time. Such a nice holiday!
Can't wait til next year!
