Christmas Day

We had a busy Christmas Day running around from house to house. We woke up at MeMa's house and opened presents. By time Landon got to his 3rd or 4th present he was overwhelmed and would go back to present #1 or #2. He favorite gift was his hand-me-down car toy from his cousin Hunter. He also enjoys his new puzzles from Gigi that make sounds when you put back the puzzle piece.

It was a great Christmas and we were happy that Larry and Mom got us our roof rack for the car and the portable DVD player for our drive home. Both were well used and much appreciated!

Christmas Eve

This is our last year going to Pittsburgh for Christmas. Next year, we'll have 2 kids and Landon will be old enough that he should wake up Christmas morning in his own house. We are looking forward to having our first Christmas at home next year and starting our own traditions.
Our Christmas Eve in Pittsburgh is always spent with the Nitoski's (Larry's family). We opened all of the gifts from Larry's family, which meant that Landon had his first present to open. Although my pictures don't capture it well, his reaction to his construction truck was priceless. Jason even said "now this is what Christmas is all about". It was so cool!


Landon was trying to steel Larry's gift. :)

Boxes are SO much fun!

Christmas Brunch with the Reese's

We went up to Becky and Andy's house for a visit since it had been a long time since we had seen them. We played at the house for a while and in the evening we went to the National Zoo for ZooLights! It was Landon's first trip to the zoo and he loved it! I'm not sure what he loved more - the zoo or Andy! Landon was all about Andy! The zoo was all lit up and many of the exhibits were open. It was really cool. Maybe we'll make it a tradition?

For the past 3 years, our friends Karman and Chris Reese, have a Big and Little Kid Brunch for all of their friends with children (all around the same age). So this year we were able to make it since we were in town. Landon had a good time playing with all of the kids and with someon else's toys!
