We had a wonderful Christmas in our very own house this year! Noah's second Christmas was so fun (even though he's still more into the paper and boxes than the actual presents....) Since Noah loves balls so much, we decided the best present for him this year was a little tots basketball goal and boy were we right! He LOVES it! It was so cute Christmas morning to see him trying over and over to put the ball in the hoop and then we he got it in there for the first time how excited he was. Luckily, we got the whole thing on video, which we will be sure to post some of sometime soon. It was nice spending time with our own little family of three at our very own house this year, but there was still a lot of driving that had to be done....even so, we had a WONDERFUL time with our families (both mine and Nick's sides) and we definitely made some very special memories, too!
Unfortunately, after all the Christmas celebrations had come to an end, Noah came down with a stomach bug that eventually got to anyone who had been in a 20 foot radius of him that day.... (We are still SO sorry for everyone who got sick! We really wish we had known that Noah was coming down with something.....We could tell he wasn't really acting like his normal, happy self, but he's teething and we just figured that was the majority of it....boy were we wrong....)
Noah was basically up all of Monday night, but seem to feel so much better Tuesday morning....just in time for Mommy to get it. Nick did such a great job taking care of him that day...until he got it later that night. Fortunately there was one well parent that could take care of Noah while the other parent tried to recouperate. Wow....not a great way to spend the last week of the year....but we are all pretty much back to ourselves again, just in time to start a wonderful 2010!

Here are a few pictures from the past month or so.....ENJOY!
This is Noah sitting on Santa's lap for the very first time. He did so well. Nick went to get him and he wasn't even ready to leave. He was having a very nice time reading with Santa.
Noah loves the tree this year....somewhat more than last year.... :)
