Snow

We loaded up the car and headed up the hill to let Landon play in the snow. He was thrilled once he figured out how to walk in the snow. Poor thing was so layered he had a hard time getting up once he fell down.

There is nothing like playing in snow for the first time. Our favoite quotes of the day were:

"Bucket Please" and "More snow man please."

Happy 2 Landy Boo!

Happy Birthday! The day finally arrived. I, Sam, made the mistake of telling Landon he was going to have a birthday party and cupcakes a few days before the big day. I was trying to get him excited, but instead made every morning up to his birthday a disappointment. He would look up each day with hope in his eyes and say "happy day Lanny, cupcake?" I was glad to finally say to him, "Yes, today is your party and you get to eat your cake."
Landon had a construction birthday party for the big 2. He and his friends decorated hard hats. Even the girls wore hard hats adorned with orange bows. He was showered with lots of love and presents. Two things all two year olds love. He had his very own tractor cake and enjoyed doing his own construction on it. We got him his first bike and helmet. He was so excited. I can report now, three weeks later, he mostly likes to walk around with just the helmet. If is rather hilarious.

Cookies!

Landon got a new apron for Christmas and we decided to put it to good use. He helped make oatmeal cookies with cranberries and white chocolate chips. He loved pouring the ingredients into the mixer and measuring the flour and oatmeal. The best part was watching his face light up when he got to watch the cookies bake in the oven. He yelled "Ready!"
