Yesterday was Landon's 1st birthday! Mommy, Daddy, Natalie, Grandma Carla, Grandpa Jim, Grandpa Paul, Cynthia, Uncle Jesse and Charlene were all there to celebrate with him. We went to the cemetery and decorated his grave. I baked him an Elmo cake and we all wrote messages to Landon on his 1st birthday puppy dog. Natalie brought him a teddy bear that says Natalie's Big Brother, and  Grandma Carla and Grandpa Jim brought him a soccer ball. We all ate Elmo cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday". After the cemetery we all went and decorated Landon's tree. 

We got through the day by remembering Landon, not mourning him. We celebrated him and his life he with us, we remembered all the happy memories we have, and all the joy he brought into the world. We know Landon had a beautiful birthday in heaven, and celebrated with all the other angels.
