We're having so much fun this holiday season celebrating Ellis' 1st Christmas!  However, I look forward to also teaching him the true meaning of Christmas, when he understands.  

We love you so much sweet boy!  You have our whole hearts & you bring us such joy!

It's exciting to watch him grow, but I can't believe how big he already is!  Slow down baby boy!
