Christmas Eve Eve

Today was Christmas Eve for the Frisbee family, since we'll be having our own little Christmas tomorrow morning, then heading up to Orange County to spend the rest of the weekend (and actual Christmas) with my parents. Jim had to work this morning and Ben hasn't been feeling well, so we just hung out at home all morning. Ben took a nice, long nap and then we decided to get out of the house for a bit and head to Starbucks. Ben has become a regular there - I took him there yesterday and he stops there in the mornings sometimes with Jim as well. It's perfect since it's right down the street and Ben seems to enjoy bringing his Elmo backpack and hanging out in the big leather chairs. He can even say "Starbutts". :) After some coffee and a cookie, we headed home to light and enjoy a fire! We didn't have a fireplace in our old apartment and had yet to have one in the new place, so it would be a first for Ben (and a nice luxury for us). We let Ben open one present - a new remote control car - which he thought was pretty cool, even though he seemed more interested in the flashlight we had out to install the batteries. Of course! Hahaha. We put Ben to bed, watched "Love Actually" and then got all of the gifts ready for the next morning. We can't wait to see Ben's reaction tomorrow! Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Hanging out at home - poor guy is sick. :(
