Team Riggan: January 2013

This blog is loaded full of pictures from X-man's 1st Christmas. We have had a wonderful holiday season and are so blessed. Christmas is my favorite time of year and Xander just added that much more excitement. I secretly started listening to Christmas music around Halloween. Lol! I know I'm a dork, but I just love it. Everyday this month was like Christmas to Xander. He was crazy about the tree and had a blast playing around it. I was sad when I had to take it down.

Playing with Daddy!

"Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!"

Christmas Tree @ Caesars in Atlantic City. Thanks random lady who offered to take a picture for us.

Even Caesar has his Santa hat on.

Such a happy boy!

Napping with Daddy.

Christmas Ornaments from Xander's handprints, thanks Pinterest. Although I came up with the yellow dog pee on the sad snowman all by myself. Lol!

Thumbprint reindeer ornaments, also Pinterest.

Even G$ & Nike got to make ornaments!

What holiday flick is this quote from?

Xander was a huge help when it came time to wrap presents...NOT. He ripped paper off of every present I wrapped, but I could care less he was adorable doing it.

Made some of Mom's yummy Christmas Tree cookies.

Stinker!

Playing with a box that came in the mail from Karen, Doug & BrookeLynne.

Enjoying his puzzle from Geny!

Busted trying to eat more wrapping paper off the present.

Enjoying a Christmas Tree that is safe to eat.

These next several pictures are my attempt at an impromptu photo shoot. I think they turned out pretty cute considering I have no proper equipment. Ghettofabulous, but the subject is completely adorable!
He is wearing his Christmas Jammies.

He loved playing with the giant ornaments, because he could see his reflection in them.

Drool much? Lol!

I wrapped his Pj's in this paper, he couldn't rip it. He played with it all the time.

I love this pic of my two guys! So sweet!

Christmas Eve...all ready to go pick up CC & Poppy at the airport.
His onesie says " Silent Night...Yeah Right!"

Waiting at the airport and watching the balls with Daddy.

So cute Baby Claus!

Pointing at the balls.

Mommy loves her boy!

Finally find CC & Poppy after snow delays and re-routing at the airport.

Sleeping Santa!

Christmas Eve, helping Poppy open his PJ's.

Yay! A Poppy & a CC for Christmas!

I don't see any mistletoe! Do you?

Reading Xander "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem", all the stars on it light up while it plays the song and X-Man loved it.

The scene is set!

Even the fridge!

MERRY CHRISTMAS XANDER!!!

His cool sled, but no snow. Maybe next year!

His big box from Daddy!

Helping CC open a present, finally he gets to rip the paper. Oh Happy Day!

Box of books, but XI loves opening and closing the box best.

FaceTime with Joss, Emit, Tamara & Dallas.

Merry Christmas mutts! I don't see mistletoe here either! Do you?

Guess who this box was for?

He had a blast playing in his big box.

Giving Mommy sweet kisses.

Trying to eat his box! Lol!

Playing in his box.

Pushing his box.

Daddy holding his legs.

Somebody is getting sleepy. It was such a great day. We literally took all day to open presents, not because we had a ton of gifts, but because we went at Xander's pace. We played, we ate, we let him sleep and then we did it all over again. Wonderful, wonderful day!

Thanks for my calendar Sis! You've spoiled me. I look forward to this present every year!

Bath time, stories & bed.

Talking to Joss & Emit again.

Day after Christmas and still exhausted. Lol!

Star stopped changing colors & helping Daddy fix it.

Yummy!

Playing with CC & Kenzie's kitchen set.

Big tree in AC again, but with Poppy & CC.

CC got an iPhone 5!

Looking for the cable to transfer Poppy's old phone proved quite a chore. Lol!

Poppy got an iPhone 5 too!

Them apples don't grow on trees!

Yay! Now we can FaceTime ANYWHERE!

Loving on CC!

Nike hugging Kevin!

Kevin and I went on our first date since Xander was born. We went to eat @ a Cuban restaurant and then to watch The Hobbit at the IMAX in 3D. We were both yawning on our way to eat. Lol! It seems we are getting old!
