Christmas with James this year was a blast!! We went to breakfast with Santa at Grandpa's work! James loved Santa and kept wanting to look at him and see him! It was really neat that he wasn't afraid!
Christmas morning started off with just the 3 of us! We woke up and saw all the presents from Santa (hand-me-downs & ones Mama had stuck away for a few months...no purchases for me!) #frugalmama Daddy did buy James 1 present this year...a remote control Jeep and it was his FAVORITE TOY!!!! Best $13.99 spent!! Daddy had it tucked back under the tree and when it came out.....well James ooooooooed and pointed!!
He loved his other gifts too...and found new ways to use them! Grandpa, Mimi, Uncle Josh & Grams all showed up around 10:30 and we had Christmas with them then James went down for a nap after they left. When he woke up Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mark were arriving for Christmas!
We had a great Christmas and loved staying home to enjoy the day rather than being in a car all day. Thank you to our amazing family for a great day!

THE POLAR VORTEX OF 2014
This winter has been the coldest I can ever remember!! As my husband puts it "hurts your face" it's so cold!! Luckily, my boss is out of town and he didn't mind that I stayed home today! I am so thankful because I really didn't want to take James out! To give you an idea...in Indiana today the temp is -7...that's right NEGATIVE 7!! Add the windchill and it's -35 to -40...That's waaaay too cold to be out if you don't have to! We're prepared though for a short power outage...but anything more than 30 minutes and we will be packing up and heading to Grandma's!
James is ready for a vacation to get out of here...this weather isn't even for the birds...they left town already!!!
On one of the warmer days we stepped outside long enough for a picture and then ran inside to get warm. Mama hates the cold! I would rather go back to July 2012 when I was 9 months pregnant in the hottest July in Indiana than have winter!
James is in love with his new boots!! Thanks to his friend, Josiah. He wears them all the time around the house! They're still a little big so we've only worn them out once.
We are having a BLAST with James every day and are excited to see what he does next...or terrified...I'm not quite sure!
And to answer the question of a sibling for James?
We aren't planning anything yet...give me another year and ask again!
Right now we love our family of 3!!
