We headed up the hill for our annual Christmas tree cutting and Christmas card picture. The boys enjoyed playing in the dirt and looking at the tractor and train. Landon helped Curtis cut the tree down this year. Someday he will get to do it himself. We all left with beautiful trees, candy canes from Santa, and lots of dirt. See picture of Cameron.
We are thankful for our first Thanksgiving at the Newest Holmes household. We are thankful for our family. We are thankful for our little eater. We are thankful for Spray 'n Wash that can be bought in bulk. We are thankful for our friends who are like family. We are thankful for not having to visit the emergency room despite the fact that standing on the arm of a chair usually makes you fall. We are thankful for God's many blessings.
Well, the day finally came. The deal in the Holmes house was that when Landon started running, it would be time for his first haircut. He was great and looks so grown up with his big boy haircut. I did good and didn't cry, but was again reminded of how fast he is growing up. My baby is turning into a big boy and even has his own hair gel now.
Landon loved trick or treating, especially the large sugar cookie he got from one house. He happily walked down the street saying "ding dong". Our little lion was very cute. Curtis and I wore skeleton t-shirts and went as the lion's leftovers. A friend said, " Well, that is pretty accurate of toddlers. They usually chew you up and spit you out."
Landon took his first trip to Apple Hill and got to stand on a tractor and take his first pony ride. He loved the tractor and asked for more when the pony ride was over. Both were big hits. We then went to the pumpkin patch and spent most of the day convincing Landon that the pumpkins were not orange balls and should not be kicked or thrown. He was not convinced.
Landon continues to entertain us with his personality and discovery of life. We are all about trucks here in 20 month old land. Looking at his new truck book from Daddy in his truck Pajamas. Taking a call in his truck jumper while putting his first line on hold. Checking the computer while laying on his car rug. Racing around the house with his truck book. Finally, my favorite, making sure the truck rugs are vacuumed properly in his stylish flip flops and too small swim hat ( As in he wore that hat last summer when he was 6 months old). He is in to picking out his own clothes. So Sweet. So Funny.
