Christmas in South Texas

Landon wore this hat every morning when he and Pa took a golf cart ride.  He would tell all the neighbors "Merry Christmas!"  They also enjoyed a large glass of chocolate milk...what a treat!

Cousins - Rylen and Landon

Meme and Pa got him a Leapster!

Uncle Ryan got him fishing glasses, lures and other great fishing stuff!  He has worn his glasses everyday since Christmas!

Snacks for Santa and his reindeer!

Santa came :)

Yeah...he got his train table!

Santa left a Lightning McQueen costume and a stocking full of goodies!

Loving his new train table!

Landon and Jordan

One of his favorite toys from Santa!

Meme, Pa, Landon and Cheeto (Sun was way too bright!)

Landon posing by the reindeer!  (This was totally his own doing!)

This year we spent Christmas with my side of the family.  Landon and I headed to Port Isabel early in the week and Brian flew in to meet us on the 23rd!  We did not break tradition...we ate tamales and queso on Christmas Eve and then opened gifts and enjoyed chatting and watching Landon and Rylen play with their new toys.  Landon left cake balls and milk out for Santa and grapes and cheese out for the reindeer!  Before Landon went to bed he scattered some reindeer food (oatmeal and glitter) so Santa could find his way to my parent's house.  When he was outside he even heard Santa laughing, "Ho, Ho, Ho!"  Landon darted up the stairs and jumped into bed faster than I have ever seen him do so...quite funny!  He said he was going to sleep so Santa would come!  The next morning he woke up quite early and was thrilled to see all the loot Santa had left...he must have been a super good boy in 2010! 

We had Christmas dinner at the ranch this year...fried turkey, tons of great sides, yummy desserts, etc.!  Landon loved playing with his cousin Jordan.  They are a little over a year apart and have the best time together.  Landon got to ride around the ranch with all the big boys and he sure felt like big stuff.  We enjoyed being with all of our family.  Thanks for hosting a great Christmas Pa and Meme! :)
