Oh, wow! This holiday has definitely been my favorite of Anderson's firsts! He makes every day better & Christmas was no exception! He is the MOST loved boy of all time, I think. The presents & love from grandparents, aunts, uncles, Santa...it was craziness.
Shockingly, I didn't even have to special order this. "Salvaggio" is the standard name on the rug since it's so common. 
New toybox from NoniBop! And, it was full of presents!
Shout out to Jeremy who had the same Christmas outfit!
Anderson is really not spoiled at all. For example, I think his Great Aunt LoLo only gave him 8 presents. It really was hilarious as we kept pulling them out from behind the tree-clothes, pjs, toys, sippy cups...
Does my 11 month old look gigantic here? He also looks thrilled to be with me, so that's nice. And, how much does he literally not look like me at all?
Taking some steps! Maybe it was Santa on the phone?

Taking some steps! Maybe it was Santa on the phone? All of the new toys & he was drawn to the piece of paper.
I think Brandon was all Anderson needed for Christmas.
Not only did he get his own presents, but Great Aunt LoLo shared her presents with him!
I guess Curtis was on the nice list because he got what he really wanted!
Uncle Andrew, lights & Santa!
Probably my favorite pic! I love his excitement and the fact that he is such a good sport with the patch situation. This is Rody-a toy Brandon found that is supposed to be perfect for 1 year olds. It also holds adults, so that's fun for us!
They both got stockings! I guess that bit about coal in your stocking if you were bad isn't true. 
Wagon from Pappaw!! We just took turns pulling him around the room all night. He loved it!
I love a picture present. Fortunately, so does Toni!
Out of all the presents, sitting in GiGi's lap is the best!

It is really a shame that he gets no attention. (oh...just started laughing about pouty Worms, again). It is also a shame I did not get to see him in his Santa outfit or penguin preciousness.
ReplyDeleteHe did look adorable in the Santa outfit... I think this was my favorite of his first too....
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Seriously, how much more fun is Christmas now that you have a kiddo? It only gets better! He looks like he loved every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteJeremy says thanks for the shout-out. Great minds think alike. :)
1. Your tree is gorgeous!! WOW!!!
ReplyDelete2. good gracious that little boy is a cutie!! Isn't it amazing how much better kids make life?? Seriously!
i actually think that he does look like you in that pic where you said he looks gigantic and is not happy to be with you. he has one of your facial expressions in that one
ReplyDeleteoh, and bethany, that wasn't her tree...i believe it was brandon's parents' tree...in our family we believe in mismatched ornaments, hand-made ones, etc
ReplyDeleteum, can we please arrange a marriage between Molly and Anderson?!? He the stinkin cutest little man, ever. We can at least force them to both go to UT and hope they work out, right?? He is just precious and he may not look too much like you (I sympathize) but it seems he has your fun-loving, positive personality. Oh, and how much fun is Christmas with a kiddo? There is nothing better.
ReplyDeleteAnderson may not look like you but he sure does act like you! Into everything, so curious! Great qualities!! He may look like Brandon but he is all Melissa on the inside! :-) The horse is so freakin' cute!!
