our first christmas

ellie wasn't the only one to have a first christmas...this was actually the first christmas day sean and i had spent as our own little family since we got married...and it was awesome! we had brunch and bubbles, went for a lovely walk in prospect park, i made 4-hr slow roasted lamb for dinner with traditional english mince pies and christmas pudding for desert and we watched (or i forced sean to watch) lots of soppy christmas movies throughout the day. i'm so excited for all the christmases to come as ellie starts to understand what's going on. i loved starting our own christmas traditions this year and i'm looking forward to carrying them on in the years to come!
