An Ellis Christmas

We had a very Merry Christmas! It was very relaxing, low-key and pretty much all about spending time with family. We spent Christmas Eve (my birthday) with my family and hit up the usual eating place...The Cheesecake Factory. We then spent the rest of the day opening presents, eating more food, and looking at Christmas lights. Noah was kind of puny all day. He had a cough and is cutting two teeth...one of which is a big fat molar. So he really wasn't in the best of spirits which is kind of a bummer when that happens around Christmas. Aaron's parents came in town for Christmas Day and we mainly just hung out and watched Noah play with all of his new toys. Since their trip was a little last minute, I hadn't been to the grocery store and we didn't have anything to eat for dinner..uh-oh! We decided to head out to see what all was open and if we had to eat at Denny's then there was always that option! Thank God TGI Fridays was open and we had a lovely Christmas dinner there! Anyways, here some pictures:

Poor little Noah...he perked up once some presents were put in front of him!

Noah with his Little People Airport...what Santa brought him! Notice he is not in his Christmas PJ's...Let's just say he coughed a little too hard on the way home from my parent's and got them dirty. Poor baby. And poor Dada, I was no help in the car and he had to clean it all up! Throw up + Pregnancy = NO help whatsoever!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
