Zoo lights
Merry Christmas (almost) Everyone. Well I have fallen off of the blog world the past 2 months so I thought I would finally update. I guess I'll go back to Thanksgiving. We hosted it at our house and it turned out great. The food was delicious and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We had 9 for dinner then Josh's sister and her family came over later in the day. We ate dinner around 1:00 then watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and had some drinks and played games the rest of the night. (Melissa you know how us Ellinger's love our board games, ha ha) My Mom, grandma, and I all got up early and went shopping the day after T-giving. I got some great deals for Christmas. Saturday we decorated the house for Christmas and put up our Christmas tree. The house looks really good. Then Saturday evening Josh and I went to dinner with his parents and my parents to Carrabbas to celebrate our birthdays. I can't believe I am 26 years old now, GOSH!!! Then the fam head back to PA on Sunday. Moving on to December now, ha ha
Josh and I went to Hocking Hills and rented a cabin in the woods the first weekend in December. We do this every year instead of buying each other presents. It was a nice and relaxing weekend and I just love hot tubs in the winter. We have also been up to Canton this December to see Josh's cousin Tess in the Ballet The Nutcracker. She had a pretty big part this year so we went up to watch her and then Josh's aunt had a big party at their house for his family and other friends. You know the ballet was good when even Josh liked it. This past weekend Josh and I went to Happy Hour and then to the Columbus Zoo to see the Christmas lights. The weather has been so nice here we had to go. That is where this picture is from above. Then Saturday we took Olivia to do a build a bear at Easton for her Christmas present. She was so cute and had a lot of fun. Saturday night we had Christmas with Josh's really good family friends. We did a lot of drinking and playing games. Then Sunday was Patterson Christmas. We always do Christmas with Josh's family the weekend before when everyone is in town. So that was nice.
This week we are getting everything ready to go down to Florida. We leave early Friday morning and are stopping in Atlanta for the night to see Jason and Lisa and the girls, and my Mom and Dad. Then we are heading down to Tampa on Saturday to spend Christmas with Matt and Megan. Then Matt's Wedding is the Friday after Christmas. Both Josh and I are in the wedding so we are really looking forward to it. Plus we will be there until Jan 2nd so it is definitely a mini vacation. Ok well this may be the longest blog ever. Below are pictures from Thanksgiving and most of the stuff I've talked about. Enjoy!! Everyone have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
