Highlights of our Christmas celebrations

Disclaimer...still have not purchased a fully functioning camera so pictures will be a bit fuzzy around the edges and the camera somewhat frustrates me so we didn't take many pictures this year,  but we did get most of it on video for personal enjoyment.

This year Santa visited little man twice.

First at our place then at Ethan's parents' home.

Here Landon is enjoying his train-set table for the first time.

It's so fun to be a parent!

Grandpa and Grandma came to help us celebrate and brought Landon some fun dress ups. He is obsessed with these hats and is constantly pretending to be different people. He has such an incredible imagination, its such fun entertainment to just watch him play.

Christmas celebration #2 was in Kentucky and tons of fun.

First thing in the morning Landon opened Santa gifts with Mimi and Bapa.

 Then after church the entire Hanson family got together to exchange gifts. Landon loves his Woody toy book! He got so spoiled this year, he is a very loved little boy.

 One of the highlights of the week in Kentucky was having Nanny there (Ethan's Grandma). She lives in Tennessee, so we don't get to see her as much as we would like, so it was great to be able to spend an entire week with her.

 Our Family



notice my mini baby bump? :)

I wish we had taken more pictures, but such is the story of my life. It was really great seeing Ethan's family. Landon had so much playing with his "big boy cousins." I love that cousins are automatic best friends, it was so fun to watch. We are very blessed to have such wonderful people to call family!

By the way, tomorrow is the Big day... I so cannot wait to see if Landon is getting a little brother or sister! :) Others are beginning to notice my bump, and I got my first "Are you pregnant?" :) I cannot express how excited we are. I'm not sure we will ever know the reasons why it took so long to get pregnant with this little one, all I know is that I am sooo grateful it did happen!
