Christmas... with lots of pics!

Noah and Rylie

Look what all I got for Christmas! (not pictured: red wagon)

We tried to not spoil him too much since he just had his birthday ;)

Look what Santa brought me!

Cousins!

About to play in the paper.

Some of my favorite gifts!

Who doesn't love matching Christmas pajamas??

Okay, so these were out of order but oh well. Didn't get any pics of Christmas in Baytown so David or Kami please send me some! We had a wonderful Christmas and got to see a lot of family! It sure is good to be home though!

Noah update: Noah has been saying more and more words lately like: light, ball, uh-oh, puppy, baby, and papaw. He so cute when he says them, but it is so funny to just hear him babble like he is really trying to tell us something. He is getting closer to taking his first steps. The other night night he took a few steps holding on to his push toy. It was a proud moment for all of us!

Here are some pics I meant to post before leaving on the cruise!

Another "matching cousins" photo.

Our first official Ellis family picture.

Noah's one-year-old photo shoot.

Another one that I liked.

Well, that's all for now. Sorry to bore you with all the pictures! Hope everyone has a blessed New Year!!!

I Love it When We're Cruisin' Together...

We had a blast on the cruise! What more can I say? Noah did great on his first cruise and we had so much fun with our families. The pictures sum it up best!

Well, that about sums up our cruise. I am surprised if you are still reading! I will post soon on our wonderful Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree...

Here is our Christmas tree this year! This picture was taken a few days ago. The presents have grown a little bit.



Here is one set of Noah's Christmas pajamas. Perfectly fitting for Noah.

This week will be a busy one. We will be getting ready to leave for Baytown on Saturday followed by heading to Galveston on Sunday to board our cruise. Hopefully I will post some pics of Noah this week from his 1 year old picture session.

Happy packing to me!

Noah's First Haircut and such...

Friday, I took him to get his first professional haircut. I had cut his hair before, but it was just a little trim off the top when he was like 5 months old. I took him to a Coolcuts for Kids because they have the cute little cars they can sit in and also the distraction of a movie. I was so proud of him! He barely wiggled at all and was so busy taking it all in that he didn't really notice her cutting his hair! Here are some pics!

Before

During

After

She did such a good job, I think, and he looks like a little boy now! So cute!

This weekend was a blast! I got my Christmas decor up finally! More pics on that later. While getting those boxes out of our garage closet Aaron organized or cleaned out the closet and also the coat closet. Thanks Aaron for doing that not-so-fun project! It is always nice to drive your car into a clean garage and not a garage where the closet is throwing up boxes and junk! We hung out with my family some and watched the OU game! So fun! Also, did a little shopping! Still have not really started Christmas shopping yet, but I will get around to it sometime, I guess!

Also, today is my Mom's Birthday!! We are going out to eat tonight to celebrate. She would kill me if I told her age, so I won't! Her favorite daughter wouldn't dare do that to her! Happy Birthday Mom, I love you!
