Well, Christmas is a whopping 6 days away and we've bought maybe 5% of our gifts. I know, we are behind the curve. We are planning on going out this afternoon sometime. Christi's parents have generously offered to watch Landon while we go out. We decided it is just too crowded to take him out today - plus the weather is nasty.
We have already taken him out several times. He's made the trip to Christi's parents numerous times and he also went down to Twin City, Georgia, for my big family Christmas get together last weekend. Naturally, he was the star of the show! Landon also went on his first shopping trip with Christi and her mom Thursday to a few stores. I don't know how much shopping they got done since a lot of people were wanting to come up and see him. Apparently having a baby means tons of random people will want to check them out. It's kinda cool, but at the same time it's like we don't know you or what kind of germs you have so please back off. Admire from a distance. Maybe if it wasn't the cold and flu season I wouldn't be thinking that, but it's just the natural protector instinct kicking in.
Hopefully today we can finish shopping. I know, this is probably a little optimistic, but we have a lot to do next week and I'm not sure how we can fit it in. It really doesn't feel like the Christmas season to us. Maybe that's because we already received our Christmas gift! When everyone asks us what we want for Christmas, neither of us can really think of anything. We have what we always wanted - Landon. It's truly a blessing. Although we already have what we want, we still want to go shopping and get everyone their Christmas presents. We don't want to not get presents just because we have Landon.
I still can't believe it's 6 days until Christmas. I think since our attention has been completely shifted from the holidays in December onto Landon that it doesn't feel like Christmas time. I am looking forward to taking some days off work and spending time with my family. Unfortunately, either Tuesday or Wednesday I will be giving a presentation over some work we have been doing and so I cannot take the entire week off. Still, I will be taking a lot of time off after Christmas so we can enjoy our 1st Christmas as a family. President Obama gave all federal workers 4 hours off on Christmas Eve so that was very nice since that is 4 hours of leave I can use on another day.
Well, Landon is starting to wake up so I need to stop writing so I can help Christi feed and change him. Enjoy a few pictures of him to help start the weekend off right! Merry Christmas everyone!

Sleeping soundly
Hope you enjoyed the pictures. As you can tell he is a bundle of joy. One thing we think is funny is that he loves to have his hands by his face while he is sleeping. No matter how tightly he is swaddled in a blanket, those hands end up by his face. Sometimes we find him with both hands behind his head, elbows out to the side like he is really kicking it in his crib. Unfortunately, every time we try to take a picture he moves. Have a great weekend everyone. I hope everyone traveling has a safe trip! I know there is some nasty weather outside. Be careful.
