DPP 2014 / 12.25.14 / christmas morning toys

it's here and couldn't have been more magical.  such a special morning sharing it with our son who is 2.5 years old.  this year he gets it more than before and was excited to come out and find all the pressies.  it was joyful and special.  super heroes, rocket ships, music instruments, pajamas, candies, tools, etc.  he's been playing with all his treasures this morning.  batman, robin and ironman are some of the hits.  as well as the firetruck, ambulance and fire chief car.

DPP 2014 / 12.24.14 / mama and james selfie

today we got out for some lunch at a new to us japanese place called Ninki.  then afterwards we got some last minute supplies at the Publix grocery store.  last stop was Starbucks -- mama and daddy = coffee, james = cookie.  :)  he's a huge cookie fan.  he requested that i sit in the backseat with him which has been nice.  here's our selfie:

DPP 2014 / 12.23.14 / take out for dinner

today was paul's last day at the office until after the holidays and paternity leave.  he goes back on the 12th of january.  james and i had a long day at home hanging out and resting.  well, i rested while james was on strike from napping.  :)  for dinner paul decided to bring home dinner via the local taco take out.  yum!  james ended up taking a short, much needed nap at 5:30p for about an hour.  his crankiness was just too much for him and us.

DPP 2014 / 12.22.14 / friends and gifts

we have some thoughtful friends with just as kind kiddos.  we had our last prenatal appt and it fell right in the middle of the nap time window so james went to spend the afternoon with our friends who have two girls that are 3 and almost 1.5.  the girls gave james a christmas pressie that we opened just before leaving their house.  dinosaurs!  he was thrilled.  we got home and he proceeded to line them all up and sort them as he tends to do with his toys at times.  he was so happy.

DPP 2014 / 12.21.14 / the axis church

it was the last sunday of advent today.  we had a great day.  the gathering was good and the message even better.  cling to His promises has been what's spoken to me the last few weeks.  He came to earth as a baby so i could live and have my heart changed.  it's an amazing story.  we love our church so much.  afterwards the service i took a pic of the candles to remind myself that His promises are what we cling to.

DPP 2014 / 12.20.14 / meal time toys

when we leave the house we are certain that we will have to fill a "backpack" with toys to go which means the bag i made for him or the TMNT lunch box.  he always grabs some of his cars, buzz, or anything else that's important at the moment.  it's so cute and helpful to get us out the door.  once we get where we are going he takes out his treasures to set up his play area.  i love him something fierce.
