Twin's Party

Landry and Landon have been at there new school for about six weeks. They are adjusting well. They have to be together though to feel safe. When the new semester starts, they will be in the same class except for the afternoon, they will split up for a couple of hours. I'm hoping this will foster some independence on Landon's part. He loves Landry and needs to know where she is at all times!

We started the party of with some singing of the carols. Landry shook her antlers to ring her bells and Landon had some hand bells. I was wondering why she kept shaking her head back and forth. She was the only one really doing it! They certainly weren't playing Willow Smith's, "Whip My Hair!"

Being silly. I think she was hoping for a more active roll!

Lando checking out his book!

Landry checking out hers. You can never go wrong with colors.

Enjoying their books. I worked the night prior, so David was in charge of wrapping the books. He watched a video online to see how to wrap. He's never wrapped anything before. I think he said it took an hour to wrap two books. Kudos to Daddy!

Landon's painted stocking! He's been coloring everything black lately so I'm glad black wasn't an option!

Landry's stocking. Digging the red top! Nice touch!

Landon's not big on pictures these days, so the choke hold is appropriate in this situation!

Playing Dress Up

Poor Landon needs a brother. Nice shoes, son!

One, Two, Three, Four, Five!

Watch me Grow!

Addison Turns Five

My my, how time flies! This little girl is five! For her birthday, Addison and I had a lunch date at Chuy's and then we went to the zoo. Just the two of us. At the end of the day she said, "I had a great day." So sweet that one!

The Artwork:

Landon thinks the house is his canvas. This is his second offense. There was another offense after this one. This boy better grow up to be a well paid artist for all the practice he is getting. God love him!

Santa's Town

There's this fun little place we decided to check out this year. It is outside College Station. We went on a hayride to look at amazing lights, had fun watching the kids (and adults) do some bullriding, pet some animals, make smores, and listen to some music. It was such a fun little place, we are going to go every year. We went after Christmas, which turned out to be great because it wasn't crowded at all! Much more enjoyable when you don't have to deal with too many people!

Landon and his godmother Stacy!

Landon was fine with the animals as long as daddy was holding him!

Such apprehension!

A surprise visit from Texas Frosty. He goes back in the the ice box when he leaves!

Merry Christmas

Christmas morning we awoke to Landon screaming, "Train, train!" We went out to see what all the commotion was about, and found the twins opening presents without anyone else. What I suspect happened was the puppy that Santa brought was motion activated by the twins, and so they unwrapped it. Next, they must have decided to open another and luckily it was the train that Landon wanted. At this point we woke up. Thankfully, the twins did not open all the presents without u,s and more importantly did not open Addison's presents (minus said puppy)!
