The New Year: 2009







This year we had some friends come over to our house for some food and games. One of the games we played I learned from my sister-in-law Tineka. Basically, you have to bend down and pick up a cereal box (the big ones from Costco work best) with your mouth. Only your feet can touch the floor. Each round you cut a piece of the box off until it is literally flat on the ground. It is pretty amusing watching your friends trying to get that box and there are always one or two that really surprise you at how flexible they are. And of course when Landon saw what we were doing, he tried to copy us. It was fun to watch...you should try it. Happy New Year everybody!

Christmas



Landon's First Birthday











Landon turned one on December 15th. I can't believe it has been a year! We had a little party for him with mostly family and a few friends. We all had a good time. Landon didn't really understand the whole present thing. After opening the first one he didn't care about the rest. He was content with what he had. He absolutely loved the cake though. Of course we got a cake with a ball on it so it was a big hit. We realized that Landon has quite a sweet tooth. Ever since he tasted that cake, all he wants is sweets!
