SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON...

We decorated for the holidays the first weekend of December so we could be ready for Richter's birthday party. His Fisher Price nativity scene sat on this shelf for a couple of weeks before he even noticed it. It was only about a week before Christmas before he did. It was all she wrote from there. Baby Jesus and what I liked to call Angel Mommy were always the first to be "chucked" from the shelf.

DH came home to R and I snoozing after a long afternoon of shopping. We were exhausted.

Richter went to bed and it was time for Santa. Boy oh boy did he put lots of presents under the tree or what??

I know Richter doesn't get it quite yet but DH and I had a ton of fun getting everything ready for the big day. Although it wasn't actually his first Christmas, he was only 9 days old last year. And to think next year will be even more exciting.

The little munchkin was obviously a good little boy in 2010 because he got lots of presents, and this was just at home.

S-P-O-I-L-E-D BABY

He loves his speedway.

So much he wants to sit in it and see if he can go for a ride.

A couple of days after Christmas, sleepy Richter was watching Yo Gabba Gabba and getting very comfy in the chair Santa brought.

I will have a 13 month old baby boy in 3 days. That is just crazy talk.
