On Christmas Eve he saw the NORAD tracker and saw Santa's sleigh headed toward South America and was apparently so "traumatized" from seeing that... that he ran right past the scene below on his way to our room!!
Like any sleep deprived parent, we capitalized on this oversight and I said, "ooooh. I'm so sorry ,Honey. Maybe we just need to lay here a little longer for him to come to our house.". We were able to squeeze another hour out of this ...with Landon laying in bed with us!
Finally, I decided we had tortured him enough and went and took a bell from the tree and shook it on the other side of the house. Yelling from over there...I asked Landon if he heard the reindeer's flying away.
His response? "No Mommy, that's just the bells on the tree.". ha! I guess that was too easy.
Christmas morning goes so quickly, doesn't it! All the gifts gone so quickly.
While Landon LOVED the Big Batman from Santa...he biggest gift of the year was his first bicycle and a helmet! Carlos picked out a Diamondback bike...white with green writing.
Landon was a bit unsure about his new ride...but, quickly got the hand of it and was all smiles. 
The rest of the day went quickly as Landon and I boarded a plane to go visit Grammy & GranDaddy Applewhite and Uncle Steve & Aunt Samanti. Carlos stayed behind to work and we were home in time for New Year's Eve!!
