Landon is 16!

Landon's birthday gift was a surprise trip to DC!  He is so unobservant, so pulling off a trip was pretty easy.  :)  He's leaning towards law and politics, so touring the Capital, the Library of Congress, etc. was a real  treat.  Since my kids have always been appreciative and grateful, making sacrifices to bless them has always been really easy.

    A yummy blue berry muffin for breakfast.

                                             A few hand made decorations I was able to pack.

                           A gift that was portable.  He told us he couldn't wait until his 100th birthday.  :)

Since I couldn't bake a cake this year (packing it would have been tough!)....we told him he could choose any place for his dessert.  It wasn't a surprise to us when he choose a molten from Chili's.  (Treat yourself one day...it is amazing!)


I will post pictures later of the trip, but I want to end with this...(which I gave him the day of his birthday).
