We're well into the 2009, but I'm going to play a little Christmas catch-up. In part, because I want my family to be able to see some pictures. But, also because I use this blog as a joural to remember special moments with Landon!
Christmas Eve was a beautiful night. The pictures above were from church. 
After church, we came home we made cookies for Santa and then the Elves dropped off Landon's "magic jammies" on the front doorstep. Landon was completely ecstatic and knew exactly how to rip open the box! 
Then we put out the cookies and carrots, read Twas' the Night before Christmas and then pulled out the lap-top and used the Norad tracker to find Santa.
We hung the special Santa key on the door for children who don't have a fireplace, so Santa and his helper Elves would be able to get inside and deliver the goodies!
When Landon didn't want to go to bed, and we saw that Santa on the Norad map was heading "down" to South America. That's when we I told Landon that he had to go to bed because Santa was heading down and away from our house.
THAT turned out to be a bad decision...because he was paranoid that Santa was going to miss his house! So we had to take the lap top into his bedroom and place it on his bed and pray...hard!
I didn't know what we were going to do if the little Santa on the computer was still heading South. But, FORTUNATELY, the sleigh was over Texas...so we convinced Landon to try to sleep. (Keep in mind this was at nearly 11pm!)
I went back and checked on him 15 minutes later and the poor little guy was laying on his back...fingers intertwined on his chest...eyes as big as quarters and staring at the ceiling! HA~ The excitement of children on Christmas Eve is so precious!
But finally, not a creature was stirring...not even a weiner dog.
After a little help from Santa's elves we were all set for Christmas morning and Carlos and I fell into bed to wait for Christmas morning!!
