No Santa This Year

After going to 2 different malls and having the Santa line be hours worth of waiting we decided that it wasn't worth it this year. Knowing Landon, he wouldn't have sat on Santa's lap anyway. He has become very shy about strangers especially those in costume. We were, however, able to see this beautiful Christmas display where it was actually snowing!

Then we let him climb,

climb,

and climb. What more could a toddler want?

The Holliday Family

This is my friend, Donette. We went to Clovis High School together along with her husband, Brian. We were on the drill team together for a few years and were great friends. They live in Colorado Springs so we were able to get together while we were in CO. It was so good to see her again and her growing family. The last time I saw her was at her wedding nearly five years ago. We had a great visit and picked up where we left off as if we didn't miss anything. It was really funny because we had the same haircut, purse, same color phone, and the boys have the same backpack and coat. Her two kids are Joslyn and Cohen. Cohen is exactly one year older than Landon. We hope it's not 5 years until we see you again!

Christmas Card Picture 2008

Troy and I rendezvoused in Denver after his finals. That was mine and Landon's third flight in a week. We were able to be in Denver for 2 weeks. The first thing we did was take our Christmas picture so we could get it in the mail. This was our family Christmas picture for 2008. If you didn't get a card, please don't be offended, we were doing cards on vacation. We really do love all our friends and family and are so blessed to know you and have you in our lives. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year.
These other two pictures were pretty cute, too.

Snow in Utah

I took Landon out in the snow one day and he didn't really know what to think. I tried to lay him down to make a snow angel and he freaked out. He did think it was pretty fun to walk in. I asked him to wave to the camera and that is what he did.
This picture turned out so cute. He's always been such a cute boy, but I think he keeps getting cuter and cuter.


Grandma and Grandpa Seastrand

While we were in Utah we got to spend time with my sweet grandparents. My grandma made a delicious lunch and Troy's brother and my dear cousin, Emily, were able to join us. We had a great visit with them and wish we could have had more time with them.
Grandma's wonderful lunch.

Landon and Grandpa played barn animals for a long time.


My grandpa always has great advice to give. He gave some to Landon.

Uncle Jason (Troy's older brother) came over for lunch and to recieve his Christmas presents.

Here's our four generation picture. (Notice how Landon thinks he's talking on the phone)

Here's a picture with Emily. We hope that she and her little boy, Jackson, are able to come out east this summer for a visit!

Gingerbread House

Landon and I were able to go to Utah for a week in December before meeting up with Troy in Denver for Christmas. We had a great time visiting with family. Megan and her boyfriend, Marcus, got engagned on Christmas Day and have chosen to have their wedding in October. One night while we were there we built a gingerbread house. Landon thought it was great.


All Landon wanted to do was feed Megan the candies.


The finished product!
