Santa Baby

We took Landry to see Santa with the knowing that she probably wasn’t going to feel warm fuzzies from the bearded man!  Where we went had a “toy shop” with rocking horses, train & village, crayons & colorings pages.  Santa & Mrs. Claus took their time with each child while the ones waiting played all around them.  Landry had no problems until an Elf called “Landry”.  She immediately said “no” & started to get upset.  We walked over to see Santa & she was stuck to me like we were both wearing Velcro.  Santa was clever & found his way into the picture with out her knowing, no need for a crying classic picture!  Mrs. Claus was the preferred choice & she did tell her what she wanted…”a hat, a baseball hat”.  I’m sure she’ll put in a good word! 

Time to decorate!

We got Landry a tree for her room this year. a pink one!  She loved helping hang the snowflakes on the big tree & did so well with leaving all the ornaments alone!  Keep up the good work, Santa is watching!

 

The problem with little hands helping is that they all end up on the same branch…LOVE IT!

This is a picture of our Christmas Card.  When we got them back from the printer, I opened to take a look, showed Landry & told her that we needed to put it on the tree.  What I meant was the “tree” card holder that hangs on our kitchen door.  She didn’t follow me & the card was gone…I assumed it was in a crumpled mess somewhere in the house.  That evening, after she went to bed, I saw this.  I thought surely Brett put in on the tree but then I remembered what I said & how little minds are so literal…she did exactly what I asked.  Sweet Girl!

Thanksgiving

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know everything,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

Halloween

I had Landry’s picture taken in her costume this year because it was so stink’n cute & unusual …take a look for yourself!

 

 

For Halloween, we went over to my sister-n-laws house for pizza & Trick or Treating.  This is Landry & Gage, my friend Kjirstens son.  Gage had to take his mask of for the picture because she was not so in to that part of Halloween!  Landry did say Trick or Treat when she went up to the door, she had her picture taken by some home owners, she wanted to hold her spider candy bucket & walk most of the neighborhood; she hung with the big boys, a real trooper!  I hope she always has a love for Halloween, it’s my Favorite Holiday!

 

Not so sure about that skeleton.

Fall Fun!

A trip to the Pumpkin Patch ~ First trip the Fort Worth Zoo ~ A Playhouse ~  First Rangers Game ~  Busy, Busy but lot’s of fun!!!

 

Lollipop Goodness!

 

My good friend Danielle took this picture of Landry.  I Love, Love this picture & just had to share!  Those eyes speak a thousand words!

Summer Fun!

Full of laughter, giggles and grins! Life couldn’t possibly be any more complete! We enjoying Landry each & every day. She has her Daddy’s “silly gene”. She LOVES the water! She could stay outside ALL day; that would be ok with me… This summer, we (yes, “we”- I’m not just going to sit & watch) played in the sprinkler at any given moment, we went to the water park that’s just down the street from our house & spent several days going to the Sprinkler Park. We went to Lone Star Park for the 4th of July & took in her first fireworks show, we had friends over & the little Picassos finger painted outside.

15 Months

Happy Fourth of July!

Not quite brave enough to run through while the sprinklers are on!

Artists at work!

Why is water from the hose on a hot Summer day so refreshing?

Mr. Sun, Sun. Mr. Golden Sun. Please Shine Down on Me!

Hide and Go Seek

Do you see me???

Spaghetti Dinner...YUMMY!

I love the progression of these pictures! Start with a spoon, hands work better but it is soooo good I must lick the bowl!

Landry is a fan of spaghetti & does pretty well with it. She is a fairly "neat" eater which probably means she is going to be a little OCD like me!!! YIKES!

Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

This is a little Mexican Dress that my co-worker brought Landry back from Mexico when she was just a few months old.

Easter

Daddy, are you the Easter Bunny?

A little video from Landry's first Easter Egg Hunt. So close to walking without a helping hand! She really did catch on quick to putting the eggs in her bucket.
