So i'll begin by saying Dean is now officially 2 years old, I can't believe how times flies yet I can feel every bit of his two years added onto my life:) I know it's only going to get crazier though... this is a shout out to all of my friends and family with multiple kids! Hooray for you!! Seriously.
Anyway, here are a few pics of the last few weeks...
He is enjoying his very own kalotchy cookie. If some of you don't know, this is our family cookie. Its been a tradition in my dad's family for years. We like to pass on those traditions, especially if they're sweet:)
This is before church on Christmas Sunday. He is so handsome in a sweater vest:)
So, yes we did take him to see the real Santa and not just the Chic-fil-a cow Santa. He actually told him he wanted a 'choo-choo'.
And guess what he got, a choo choo:) He loves it. He actually had a terrible time sleeping after all of the Christmas activites and traveling that one night he was up and upset and a little drousy that I could hear him muttering '...choo choo, mama, choo choo'. Its really cute now but it was not too much fun at 3am. Thank goodness he has for the most part overcome the sleeping troubles!
Here we are visiting Daddy on Christmas Day! We had dinner at the firehouse with him. Dean loves the wee-oows. Another cute story was last night we Dean and I were ready to pray at dinner and Tony was working, Dean grabbed both of my hands, as usual, and started praying " mi, mi, mi, mi... dada wee-ow wee-ow. Mamen!" Translation: "Thank you Jesus for this food. Bless it to the good of our bodies, and be with daddy at work. Amen!" His first Prayer all on his own!! It was so sweet because I always say the prayer and add to be with Daddy at work and he might add the wee-ow wee-ow but he said it all and he was praying just for Daddy. It just makes my heart swell:) Daddy was happy:)Christmas Celebrations with the Families...
