Team Riggan: Oct-Dec 2013

I'm playing catch up like always, but this blog is packed with pictures. Enjoy!

We always carve a pumpkin like this to sit outside for Trick or Treaters.

Kevin went all out and dressed up like a mime.

Xander was a great! He walked all over the neighborhood holding our hands and was the perfect lil trick or treater.

Clown Selfie!

Nike & Gandalf took the road trip with us. The dogs rode the long 12 hours both ways on the back of the truck. It got pretty cold, but they were very good sports. Talk about a Road Trip!

We needed some down time to recover from our short/long weekend trip.

Shoe shopping.

Trying his new shoes out.

He. Is. Awesome.

True Story: We narrowed it down to 2 pair that we liked, but couldn't decide, so Kevin thought he would be clever and let Xander pick. Kevin sat both pairs of shoes down about 10 feet away and asked Xander which ones he wanted. Xander casually walked over and simultaneously picked up both pairs. That's my boy! So needless to say we went home with both pair. Great picks X-Man!

Shopping with Momma is exhausting.

I love my sweet cuddles!

When we go through Starbucks, they give Xander an empty cup to play with. He loves it!

Xander left a matchbox car in Kevin's coffee. He didn't realize it until he was drinking it. Ha! Stealthy!

Muah!

"Stuck!" Xander says this anytime he can't pick something up or move it. I love it! He even says it when we put on his jacket or hoodie and he can't squirm out of it.

X-Man loves to press the buttons on the dancing and singing Christmas toys. This particular day he had the whole shelf jamming.

Emma had an assignment at school and she chose to disguise her Turkey as Alley Oop. So sweet!

We spent Thanksgiving with the Wangrycht's and ate a yummy, yummy steak.

My Birthday this year was pretty fun. Xander and I went to Toys R Us and then he took me to McDonalds for lunch.

Then we took a power nap.

Kevin surprised me with a Limo and a night out on the town. It was freezing out, but we had a great time.

5 Guys

The following group of pictures were taking over a few days time. We were trying to get a good picture of Xander in his truck, while hauling his Christmas tree. He was all too happy to be outside, but every single time we put him in the truck to take the picture, he started crying. My guess is he didn't like being confined. He loves running when he is outside. When we are inside he really enjoys playing in his truck. So after a few hundred pictures we decided to just go with it, tears and all.

Bath time

On our way to meet Santa at the park.

Obviously Xander is not a huge fan of Santa yet. He screamed the second I sat him down on Santa's lap. He then proceeded to knock poor Santa's glasses of his face and when he bent over to put them back on, Xander grabbed a handful of beard. I hope we haven't traumatized he for life.
