All I want for Christmas...I already have!

The lights are hung, the trees are decorated, Santa has been visited (he sure shocked the heck out of Landon), and preparations are under way for Landon's 1st birthday tomorrow. This time of year is very special to us, as we are reminded of the amazing story of Landon....our angel! There are times when we are at a true loss of words to describe how at 1st look at him, he melted our hearts and with each milestone he meets we see our little baby growing so fast into a precious and lively little boy with an adorable sense of humor.

We hope to make this time of year, every year, overly special for him. He is our one true Christmas, birthday, and shooting star wish that came true. Landon has his own Christmas tree that is already filled with decorations he was gifted. He is so gentle with is ornaments and crawls to his tree to adore his lights.


Landon spent the afternoon celebrating his friend, Beckett's, 1st birthday. Hopefully he was taking notes on what to expect with all the people, the singing, candle blowing, and cake eating. It is such a delight to watch Landon interact with other people and he loves to play with Beckett.

Tomorrow, December 14th, is his big day to turn one. Irregardless of the fact, that he won't remember the day when he gets older, we have still planned a wonderful party to celebrate him. Scot and I have prepared some surprises for him that will hopefully create a snapshot of this wonderful milestone birthday.

"When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happiness."


This month has been a blur. Where has the year and the time gone? We find our lives so busy and hectic with just our simple daily activities, but Scot and I have always made time to separate our thoughts from work, bills, and any recent drama to truly appreciate life....which in our case, is each other, Landon, and all of our family. We have become so increasingly thankful for one another and everyone that surrounds us. We have incorporated many traditions into our home and we get so excited when Landon is now joining all of them. Our Thanksgiving this year was Landon's first feast!! Scot's grandmother, from Wisconsin, came to visit and to meet her 1st great-grandchild. Our day was filled with so much laughter and great food, we were ready to do it again the following day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

So easy to love....we cherish every moment with him and we so thankful he is our son!!!
