The night of Landon's birthday, Ken's family, including Great Grandma and Grandpa Gallaher, and we went to eat at Hotel Nauvoo. It was a great birthday dinner! Great Grandma even told the waitresses to bring Landon a cupcake and have them sing happy birthday to him. He watched those girls close, and then he enjoyed making a mess of the cupcake.
After everyone was through eating, we went out to the parking lot, and Grandma and Grandpa pulled out a surprise! Landon absolutely loves his John Deere now.
Most of the celebrating actually happened on the 4th of July. Lots of the family came over and helped us celebrate Landon's 1st birthday. Grandma Gallaher made Landon such a memorable birthday cake. It was a choo choo train! The tracks are made out of black licorice. Everyone was amazed at her talent. Thanks Grandma Gallaher!
After everyone ate and admired the cake, it was time to sing to Landon. He was getting very sleepy, so he didn't do much digging into his cake. In fact, he just poked it a few times, licked his fingers and then picked up his piece of cake and threw it on the floor. He was ready for his nap.
Before we headed into the living room to open presents, we decided to have Aunt Sue give Landon his first haircut. Todd said Landon was so lucky not to have to have his first hair cut from his mom like most kids, he got to have "Simply Sue!" She did a great job! The haircut went rather well. Landon kept himself happy by chewing on Sue's comb. He was completely happy until it was time to take the apron off. Then, he turned to tears for his after shot.
Luckily the next event was to open presents. Landon was so tired so he didn't go crazy over ripping the paper open, but once he saw what came out of each package, he wanted to play with that present right then, and wasn't too worried about opening anything else. Mom ended up doing most of the unwrapping.
After a long nap, Landon woke up and enjoyed playing with all of his fun toys. That night he got to go to bed in his new Fireman PJ's! What a lucky one year old boy...and a handsome one too!
