The morning started off quietly at home. Jacob got a new train set for his birthday and was soooo excited to see it set up in his playroom. He was having so much fun in fact, that it was difficult to pry him away for breakfast!
After breakfast, we met up with Auntie Catherine and Jacob's cousins to see the trains at North Park. Each year, we do something fun on Jacob's actual birthday (something just for him and non-Christmas) and thought it was fitting given the gift he received. He and his cousins had such a fun time watching all the trains and were absolutely mesmerized. When we first arrived, Jacob was definitely on sensory overload, but just loved looking at all the displays!
We had lunch at the mall and then headed home, just in time for nap. As Jacob was waking, I heard him quietly say "choo choo"! He was so excited to get out of bed and play with his new train set!
This time of year can be manic and crazy, but having our sweet boy's birthday allows us some quiet in the all the chaos. It's a time to reflect on the day he came into our lives, how he's changed, and all the wonderful things to come!
We love you, Jake!!
Our two year old!
The train, all set up and ready to play!
Pure joy!
