Dreaming of a white Christmas!

We didn't have to dream of a white Christmas this year, we spent 10 days in Wisconsin with Grandma and Grandpa Tetzlaff and Landon got to experience several inches of snow. Grandma had him outfitted with snowpants, boots, and a heavy coat, but Landon didn't want much to do with any of it, including the snow, much like his momma! Family Christmas in Wisconsin was spent at Uncle Kim and Bill's, where Landon had several cousins to keep him busy and entertained while Leighton was passed around from one aunt or uncle to another.

Unexpectedly (in a good way) we were able to celebrate Christmas twice with the McNeely grandparents. We celebrated with the McNeely's prior to heading out for Wisconsin because we weren't sure when we would see G-ma and G-pa McNeely next and we wanted to make sure they got to watch L&L open presents. We returned from Wisconsin on Christmas day and were able to have a wonderful meal and spent two more days with G-ma and G-pa McNeely before they headed back to Arizona.

We have been blessed with two "easy" babies, if there is such a thing. Landon was very easy on us, and Leighton is equally wonderful, usually only crying if she needs a diaper change or a bottle. She is doing so much smiling and starting to coo at us too...I even caught her laughing in her sleep the other day. Life with two kids though is definitely an adjustment, especially two kids under two! I think the adjustment from one to two may be harder than from zero to one! Landon is at a stage where he requires all of our attention or supervision, so by the time he goes to bed at night, both of us feel completely worn out! Make no mistake about it though, we feel completely blessed with both of our children who truly are the joys in our lives.

Enjoy the pictures! You may notice that Landon is in a bit of an "animal" stage, or shall I say he has never gotten out of the "animal" stage! We took him to Bass Pro shop for our Christmas card picture and he loved it, so now we have been back a couple additional times...cheap (free) entertainment! Some of the photos posted are in the massive Cabela's in Wisconsin where they had some safari animals in addition to the normal deer, bears, etc. found in those stores.

Happy New Year! Love, the Tetzlaff's
