Landon and Grandpa, just hanging out this morning before Grandma and Grandpa left for the farm (and the grain truck and the peas). Landon enjoyed snuggling up with Grandpa in the mornings.
It's a GARBAGE TRUCK - from SANTA!! yes, Landon was quite excited and very pleased that Santa brought him the exact garbage truck that he wanted and asked for.
This was definitely the hit toy of the day. While Landon loved to open up presents, he would always go back to the garbage truck to play for awhile ... then come back to open more presents.
Among the popular toys of the day was this play-doh set. Landon had fun (along with Kyle, and Grandma) playing with this play-doh. It was a good gift for him, as he's always enjoyed play-doh, and this gives him some tools for play -- stamps, and cutters, and 3 little animals where the play-doh gets pushed through them and becomes hair ... even mom has fun playing with this thing!! LOL
This is Landon opening up the garbage truck - when he came downstairs Christmas morning, he didn't even see the presents under the tree. Finally we asked him if there were any over there (he had obviously forgotten that Santa was to have come overnight!! lol), and he saw this big present and dropped to his knees to rip it open right away. There was NO DOUBT in his mind that the biggest gift must be for him!
On Christmas Eve Landon got to open 2 gifts: one contained 2 story books - A Christmas Carol and Twas the Night Before Christmas; the other had a musical Rudolph ornament. I never though that ornament would be such a hit (I should've known though - it does make noise!!). And the stories - well, he was WAY too wound up to want to sit for stories. They haven't gotten much attention at all actually :-/ Ah well ... they'll be great books to pull out next December to read to the boys and get them all excited for Christmas again next year!!

Among the big 'hits' for Landon this year were: the garbage truck; the CARS movie (thanks Uncle Greg and Aunty Yvonne & Kyle); the play-doh bucket; the Quarry Mine Tunnel (thanks Grandma and Grandpa); and Jack, Alfie, Max, Monty and Salty (Thomas toys). He's also starting to figure out his hop ball (hope THAT thing tires him out some!! LOL), and he likes to play with his bee game, although he just plays with the bees, not yet understanding the 'game' aspect of it -- that'll come I'm sure!! Oh yeah - and any toys that Arlan got are also a HUGE hit with Landon!! LOL Especially the musical drop toy from Uncle Rob and Aunty Liz. What a kid :-)
So Landon was absolutely SPOILED for Christmas - so many toys he doesn't know which one to play with first. And while I was typing this I realized there's another gift somewhere in the basement that I guess I forgot to put under the tree :-/ It's a playmat for cars ... maybe I'll just pull it out in a few weeks for him!! LOL My good gawd -- next year I will have to control myself a LOT better!! But it was so fun to shop for him this year, because he gets it so much more! But it really was overwhelming for him. I'm thinking he'll be rediscovering toys / gifts over the upcoming weeks as he plays with some things and then moves on to something else. And maybe, just maybe, we'll get through a day without watching CARS movie sometime in the next month or so too!! LOL
