Well, Christmas has come and gone. It's unbelievable how fast the Christmas season went by! I didn't think that Ryker would get especially excited this year, pretty much the only thing he gets excited for is being in the high chair and opening his mouth SUPER wide to get a bite of his dinner. He did play in his big Christmas present with a bow from one of his gifts while Vic and I opened up the rest of ours. I was really surprised at how long we got away with that one!
He did like trying to pull the tissue paper out of the presents! He let me put that Santa hat on him all day long too, without any fuss.
Vic and I had decided while I was pregnant with the little one that we wanted our Christmas' to be spent at home, with our tree. I can't lie, when we FaceTimed the families I was a little bit jealous of all the hustle and bustle. But, Vic and I pulled out Monopoly while the baby was napping, poured some wine and had an epic tournament. It only took four games for me to finally win one! It may seem like a boring night to some, but listening to some Christmas tunes with my man while a fire burned was really all I needed.
We are trying to get Ryker to get a solid dinner in these days that isn't just formula (I realized we spend $40 on two bags...which lasts like 38 bottles and not even ten days. WHAT?!) I had made a Pumpkin Bacon soup for Vic and I and set aside some chicken, bacon, pumpkin puree and broccoli to puree for the baby. When I smelled it I figured there was no way he would eat it, it was straight broccoli. He LOVED it! Couldn't get enough in his mouth. After bath time he was very ready for bed with his new toy from my Aunt Sarah.
We were supposed to roast our turkey yesterday, which is actually the same one that we were supposed to do on Thanksgiving. Um...it finally was roasted today. The good news is, it turned out pretty good for my first full turkey, considering I don't own a roasting pan. I was going to have a completely paleo day and be back on track and then Vic came home from the gym with Stove Top stuffing. That s**t s the best. I had three bites and stuck to my yummy turkey and veggies. I skipped the gym today like a lazy bum to the get the house ready for our friend that will be hanging out here with the pups while we go to Colorado next week. We can actually navigate our guest room now and I packed away so many of Ryker's clothes that are too small now. That is so hard! All the cute, itty bitty clothes, oh man.
Ryker's first Christmas is on the books...I can't wait until next year! I hope you all had a very, Merry Christmas!
