christmas with great gramps!

high tech kid.

corbin has recently taken up a liking to playing games on my iphone. at first i was hesitant to let him play it too much but let's all be honest, corbin is growing up in the age of technology! and most of the games he plays are educational so it's a win win! it's adorable to me to watch him navigate around my phone as if he's been playing on it for years. the other day he looked particularly cute playing lego duplo jams so i grabbed my camera and snapped away! 

christmas with grandpa don and aunt patty!

we celebrated christmas with my stepdad and aunt saturday! they live a couple hours away so it's always so great to see them and i love love LOVE the time corbin gets to spend with them! corbin scored gift cards, an awesome lightening mcqueen car, and lots of amazing books! he was stoked as you can see! then we had lunch and they went bed shopping with us for corbin. it was such a fun day and we can't wait to see them again!! 

love lately. {corbin's christmas present edition}

santa parade!

corbin had the funnest time at the santa parade last weekend! running in the streets with the big kids before the parade started, watching all the kids and cars and marching bands march down the street, and seeing santa end the parade atop an old fire engine!! 

afterwards we walked to the grocery store for all the makings of ice cream cones then went home and watched the smurfs movie! i love christmas and all the festivities that go along with it!!

like mother, like son.

snowflake lane!!

it's my absolute most favorite holiday tradition and now that i have corbin the joy of this tradition has just multiplied! watching his face be in complete awe the entire time. his smile when the snow tickled his face! this is his third year going and although i know he had a great time before this year he really got it and i honestly can't tell you anything that happened around me because i just stared at his face the whole time!

waiting for the show to start!

mouse high fives!

(fake) snow!

we already have plans to go again and i can not wait!
