Christmas was a very fun one this year! You were so into opening all the presents and loved tearing open everything.
We started off celebrating with cousins Ava and Cam in Waseca in early December. Ava had the flu so we debated still getting together but we still made it work and hoped that no one would catch the nasty flu bug from her. (Luckily no one did) It was quite chaotic with a 4 year old, and two 19 month boys (six days apart) The living room was full of paper and toys everywhere! Ava's presents mostly had a Frozen theme..the boys even loved her new Frozen singing doll. haha All and all, all of the kiddos were very spoiled! Cam and Landon had a blast chasing each other around the house beep beeping...Landon with the shopping cart and Cam with the stroller (Pink and all)- they were things Ava had played with when she was little. haha
Since I had to work everyday but Christmas day we stuck around town and had Christmas days to just ourselves..which was just perfect! On Xmas Eve my mom and Miguel came over and went to church with us. I was a little worried at how well Landon would do sitting through and hour plus Christmas Pageant etc but he did great. He loved all the singing and would clap hysterically after each song. haha Everyone thought he was so cute! He also talked to the girl across the aisle that we sat by last year when they were just little babies. Too cute. The girl was quite the show off singing her abcs..Landon cant do that yet. haha
We then went back to our house and I had made a roast, cheesy potatoes and peppermint cheesecake. I even busted out our fancy china and silverware that sits in our hutch each year. heheeh Figured we should use it! After dinner, gma and gpa read Landon every book he owned that was in the general vicinity. haha We then sprinkled Landon's reindeer food in the front yard that he had made at daycare.
On Christmas morning we all woke up and we handed Landon his Christmas stocking. He pulled out each item one by one and would say "Wow" each time and run over with whatever it was. Too cute for words!! We then opened our stockings and then Landon proceeded to open all of his gifts, including ours. haha He opened his big Santa present from us a new Wagon!! He loved it and sat in it and kept opening the door and going in and out over and over. We cant wait till its warmer and we can use it. He then proceeded to stand on the seat over and over so we had to take it away and put in in the garage. (Mean parents) haha
The weekend after Christmas, we headed to Wisconsin to celebrate with Lee's family. We also celebrated Lee's bday which was the following day. We had ice cream cake and put Landon to bed and then stayed up way too late having drinks and playing the game, Battle of the Sexes. (which is and extremely hard game). The next day we put together a Christmas puzzle (Kraemer tradition) and chased Landon around. We opened up gifts after Landon's nap and he again had a blast opening all of the presents. He was very spoiled once again. We had too many things to try and cram in our car for the trip home. (You could barely see poor Landon in the back seat) We had a yummy dinner and then just relaxed and worked on the puzzle. Someone was over tired from all the days fun and took and hour or so to get to go to sleep. EEK. We went to church early Sunday morning and had breakfast, did stockings and then headed back home to MN.
Overall a very busy and fun Christmas had by all:)
