Happy 4th Birthday Landon

Dear Landon,

I can't believe you are four already! It seems like yesterday that I was holding you in my arms- yet again surprised that you came early just like your big brother Ryan. You are such an amazing child- so smart, so loving and so darn funny! You make me smile every time I look at you! I love you very much! I hope that you have a wonderful birthday filled with love and many surprises! Happy 4th Birthday!

I love you,
Mommy :)

Landon had a Mickey Mouse birthday party. When all his guests arrived he was passed out in the reclining chair. (He went Black Friday shopping with Mommy, Aunt Trish & Nana at 9 am. He played with Cooper & Ryan outside.) When he woke up to find his party going on- he ran to find Miss Zinni to give her a moose pillow pet! Then he informed everyone that he was going to open his presents. He opened them- got some mac n cheese- yum, got an Olivia House and Car, got a Mickey Mouse Rocket, got a Team UmiZoomi movie, Jake and the Neverland Pirates movie, got a blue iPod, got some TAG Reading books, got a Spiderman House, got a memory game, Despicable Me movie, Olivia Books, some t-shirts and underwear and more mac n cheese! Landon sure does love mac n cheese! He also got some money to put in his bank account-yay! After he opened up the gifts- he yelled thank you to everyone and then informed us it was cake time! He was a little bossy today- what does he think- it's his birthday? He loves everything he received and he had a great day! Thank you for everything! While we were all here we also took som family pictures! We took the Johnson/Hamilton pictures and then we took the Hamilton/Brownell/D'Amico pictures! The bottom two pictures are MArkie & Ashley and then Dave and Nicole!

Thanksgiving!

We all went to Hornell and hung out with Gram for Thanksgiving! We had a great time! On Wednesday night, Joe, Andrew, Zach & Alex came to see us! Kennedy was out numbered- one girl and six boys (Kennedy- 8 years old, Ryan & Cooper- 6 years old, Andrew- 5 years old, Zach & Alex- 4 years old & Landon- 3 turning four the next day- whoo- exhausting)! The kids played and had fun! On Thursday, Thanksgiving- we watched the Macy's Day Parade! The Smurf Float and Smurf balloon were a hit with the kids! I of course liked Snoopy and Santa Claus! I think I watched the Parade more than the kids! Trish & I helped Mom in the kitchen but Mom did most of the work! Go Patti! Fred & Kevin spent most of the time at Gram's in the woods trying to shoot a deer or bear- but no luck! Dinner was ready at 2:30- it was delicious! Aunt Mary, Maura, Gram, Uncle John, James, Olivia, Lucas, Mom, Dad, Trish, Kevin, Kennedy, Cooper, Fred, Ryan, Landon & I all ate a ton! We had the kids decorate the Ginger Bread Men that Ryan, Landon and I made. It was fun & messy! We had a very nice Thanksgiving! Thank you Gram for letting us come and stay! We love you!
