Christmas with the Gainey's

 Sweet Bryce

 Mom with her Chinese Christmas gift!

 My Aunt Lisa takes care of all the Food for the night. My favorite is shrimp wrapped in crisp bacon!

 Of course there had to be wrestling!

:)

We had Christmas with my side of the family Saturday. It really works out great because we go to Dustin's family on Christmas Eve. The first few years of marriage we would have to stay at each one a certain amount of time! It was hectic! Especially when Landon came around. My aunt Lisa handles everything and we play the Chinese Christmas game so all we have to bring is a gift for a girl and boy. Landon and Bryce are too young to play so we just let them two exchange gifts this year. I ended up with the gift I brought, which was a  Victoria Secret Pink perfume and lotion set. :) I was happy! Dustin left with a "floating" pen! HA! We had a blast and love spending time with the family!

Is he 4, already???????

Last picture of the Party!

We could finally breathe! Ahhhhhh! It was hectic the whole time! We werent expecting as many people to show up with it being so close to Christmas. But we made it through and Landon had a blast! He got so many presents! He was busy the entire night playing with them all! We can't thank God enough for him. He is the joy in our lives. We love him so much. His happiness means everything to us. When I see Dustin and Landon together, I can't help but laugh. They are just alike in so many ways. Dustin is such a good Father to Landon. No matter how tired he is, he will always play with Landon. We can't believe he is already 4 years old. We can't wait to spend many more birthdays with him. And I know that Trevor was looking down on his big brother wishing him a happy birthday too!

Christmas Party at School

          When Landon seen me and Dustin, he was super excited!

       "God our Father, God our Father, We thank you, We thank you......."

               He's going to KILL me later for this pic......

           He sure has been a "Daddy's Boy" lately

                    Landon and Reese making MONSTER faces! Too cute!

Me and Dustin helped so the Christmas Party for his class this year. It just so happened that we both were off that day. We had fun and loved the kids! They were so funny!

I could just eat him up with a spoon! I love him bunches!



Spot

 Landon pushing around "spot".

Every time Landon sees a ladybug, he calls him spot and plays with him for literally hours! Last week we were coming in the house and he sees one on the porch. He picked him up and took him and put him on the chair with him. He then told me that Spot wanted to watch cartoons and I had to keep changing the channel until Spot told Landon which cartoon he wanted to watch! lol Then later Landon gives spot a ride through the house! I love that boy!

Happy Birthday Boyd!

 Landon holding Boyd's present!

 The HUGH jumping Pirate Ship they had! Everyone LOVED it!

 Everyone ready to eat Pizza and Cake

 Dustin and Phillip: Friends since Elementary School

I had to get a picture of me and Landon. He has been soooo sweet lately. He has been in a very cuddly mood with me and Dustin. He went to the Dr. about the sores in his nose, and turns out he had a mild case of staff infection in his nose that was causing his sores. I've been putting some ointment in his nose twice a day now and last night we couldn't see one sore in there! YAY!

*And Boyd aka the Birthday boy was running around WILD so the only pictures I got of him were very blurry! I am going to have to do better when they come over Christmas Eve to watch the Neighborhood Parade with us!

He gets really excited this year when he sees Santa.

 This picture doesnt show really how BIG he was. And we couldnt believe Dustin "petted" it!

We went to Santa's Village in Florence last Thursday with some friends of ours. They have a little boy that is a couple months older than Landon and they get along great. It was VERY cold, but the boys had a blast. They have a light display with some animated light that is a mile long and at the end they have rides and animals. Both boys loved it and was asleep by the time we got home!
