Oh so busy...

Man, this week is flying by and kicking my butt! We've been out shopping every day and are ALMOST done...I'm heading to the mall again tonight because it closes at 10 and I have just a couple more things to do! Yikes! I thought I was a little more on my game then this. Anyway, we are heading to my parents' tomorrow and I can't wait to celebrate Ella's first Christmas! I have so many pictures and stories to share of Kristen's surprise visit out here but they will have to wait until we arrive back home! We went to see the lights in Naples tonight and Ella loved it! It's so fun to watch her experience new things. Seeing the lights is a great tradition for us (we went there on our 2nd date and that's where Eric held my hand for the first time...awwwww) and we are excited to keep doing it as she grows up! So, Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoy your time with family and friends and are able to celebrate the true reason of this season. This year the gift of Jesus is so much more real to me with Ella here...I imagine Mary with her baby Jesus, knowing he was going to be the Savior of the World. What a gift to us! Merry Christmas!
