Runnin' around with my friend Chase

Good Bye Y'all!

We went to my parents house in Port Isabel for Christmas this year...a FUN time was had by all! Landon totally got the concept of unwrapping presents and he is loves his new toys! He had a great time with MeMe and Pa. MeMe made him scrambled eggs every morning, gave him sweets when we were not looking and let him play with her cell phone (something we do not let him do)! Pa took Landon on golf cart rides, let Landon wear his favorite hat and gave up his cell phone too! Landon is obsessed with phones! We enjoyed playing the Wii, spending time together, eating out, going on a boat ride and playing with Landon's new toys! This was such a great Christmas...Landon brought extra joy to it!

Buda Fest

Landon, Grace and Maddie at the Parade

Landon LOVING Santa!

Santa trying to butter Landon up with a candy cane...nice try!!

Having fun on a carnival ride

Landon and I went with my friend, Bridgette, to Buda Fest with her girls Grace and Maddie. We started off the morning watching the parade, which was fun. The kiddos sat in the wagon and waved to all the people passing by and ran for the candy when it was thrown out. Then we rushed to Santa and Mrs. Claus' picture taking station, but they were "feeding the reindeer" so we had to wait a bit until they arrived. Landon loved this visit with Santa as much as he did the visit a few weeks ago!! I thought that he would do better since Mrs. Claus was there, but not quite...maybe next year! We were then off to the carnival rides. We had a great day and it was so nice to catch up with an old friend and see the kiddos interact with each other.

Landon's First Week of Mother's Day Out

Landon started going to Wee Care @ First on Tuesday. He did so great the first day...walked right in and started playing, they even said he went right to sleep on his mat without having to be patted on his back or anything! He was not so sure about getting dropped off today, but once he got in his class he started playing and decided that "school" is pretty fun! We think this will be really good for his socialization and it will let Mommy get some things done too! We are so happy that he is enjoying himself...it makes it a lot easier to leave him.

Thanksgiving in Goliad

Loving the go cart

Looking cool in Cousin Lara's glasses

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year...surrounded by LOTS of family and LOTS of love! Brian and I met my parents at their place in Goliad along with my cousin, Tato (AKA Mary Ann) and her family. We celebrated Thanksgiving at another cousins ranch called LaPaHa (named after their daughters...Lara, Paxton and Haley). They had fried some yummy turkeys and baked awesome pies and then all the guests brought sides to share. The food was delicious! We enjoyed hanging out, talking with family and friends and relaxing on a beautiful day! Landon and his cousin, Rowan, had a blast together! Thanks for having us over at your place Van Klompenburg Family!

The next day, my Mom, Tato and I left the house at 5 in the morning to do some Black Friday shopping. Cousin Sue joined us for part of the adventure and we actually got some really good deals and it was not too crazy. Target was probably the busiest place we went, but we were also there right when it opened. We had some fun "girl" time while the little boys stayed home with their Daddy's.
