An Old Video of Logan Singing ABC's
I think Logan was around 2 years old when we took this video! Oh my, how he has changed! LOL!

More Pics of Landon's Christmas Program
That's our handsome guy!

Great-Grandma Umscheid, Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Mick all made it to Landon's special program (and of course Mommy and Daddy, too)!

Our little reindeer!
All dressed up and SO excited for his program!Today was a BIG day for Landon, as it was his first Christmas program (or any "program" for that matter)! Landon is the kind of kid that never used to sing, and if he ever did, he would do it when he thought no one was watching/listening and then get mad when he would find out that we could hear him singing! However, since he started practicing for this Christmas program earlier this month, he's been singing up a storm at home, and even letting us hear him! We love it! Anyhow, he was so excited for this day, although once it actually came time to sing and dance in front of an audience, he had a small case of stage fright! He sang, and he did some of the actions to the songs, but not like he had been showing us at home and how he had been practicing in his classroom with his teachers and classmates. At the end of the program, SANTA came to visit the boys and girls! What a surprise! I even captured a picture of Landon with a look of "Is that who I think it is?" on his face!
We are so proud of Landon for doing such a good job! We can't believe how fast he is growing up and all that he is learning now that he is in preschool!

Grandma Bessie's 80th Birthday Party!
Tonight we celebrated my Grandma Bessie's 80th birthday! We celebrated a few weeks early so all of her kids could get home over the longer weekend of Thanksgiving. She and my grandpa are special people, for sure, and very admired and respected by all of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many friends! We just celebrated my grandpa's 80th birthday last winter, so we are thankful to have been able to share in this milestone for both of them this year!
Thanksgiving with the Duvall Side
This year, we broke all Thanksgiving traditions and traveled to Omaha for Thanksgiving with Jeff's parents and brother. Jeff's mom and brother work there, so they have an apartment there (even though Lorraine's permanent home is in Cherokee with Jeff's dad - which is where we normally go to celebrate the holiday with Jeff's side of the family). We stayed at a hotel (a very nice one, by the way) with a pool so the boys could enjoy some swimming time, and they loved every minute of it! The main Thanksgiving tradition that we broke this year was NO turkey and all the fixin's for dinner...we ate at a Chinese buffet instead! It was SO GOOD that we didn't feel one bit bad about missing out on turkey this year! :) Jeff's parents also took us to the Children's Museum which was very neat! It is a very hands-on place, so that was right up the boys' alley! It was so wonderful to get out of town for a bit, and the boys enjoy any vacation they can get! Friday, November 19, 2010
Logan's 6th Birthday Party!
Today was an exciting day for Logan, because, even though his birthday isn't until Monday, he had his birthday party and presents tonight! He started off the evening with a pretty naughty attitude, fueled by all of his excitement. By later, however, his attitude improved quite a lot and he had a great party! He was spoiled with MANY gifts (and I'm sure I'll forget some): money, pajamas, a Paper Jamz guitar, NEAT farm set, Legos, Chutes and Ladders, a Christmas movie, toy airplane, Nerf cross bow, and his favorite gift of all - a bicycle that looks like a Moto-cross bike! It was the only thing in the world that he wanted! In the pictures you may see training wheels on the bike, but Logan has long outgrown training wheels...we just didn't have time to take them off before giving it to him! Logan was very pleased with all of his loot, and will turn around and get even more in a month when Christmas rolls around! I can't believe I have a 6-year-old (well, on Monday I will)! I am amazed at how he has grown so fast and learned so much over the years! Though he challenges me at times, I am so thankful to have him and we love him so much!
