The rest of Andrew's christmas trip to Mass.

Christmas morning we headed to NH to see Uncle Rick and Aunt Loretta
On Saturday we stopped by the Warren's house to meet Andrea, Drew and Olivia.


Our next stop was Uncle Jim and Aunt Deb's house

They got 2 adorable new puppies for Christmas.

Saturday was a super busy day and when we got back to Grandma and Grandpa's house the Caraviello's were there for a visit.
More fun with Auntie Meg and Auntie Alex!



Did you know in a pinch a chicken cook book can be used as a bedtime story?

On Sunday morning we went to visit Baba
Then on Sunday afternoon was Riley Family Christmas!

Andrew with his mom's cousin Jackie
Nick, Katie, Nathan and Travis



Andrew and his Great Aunt Betty
Auntie Alex TRYING to get Andrew to go to sleep.... he finds her way to entertaining.

Baby's first Christmas

Who would have guessed that the baby would be the last one up!




Elmo was a big hit!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

A Christmas tradition in the Riley house is to read "The Night Before Christmas" before bed on Christmas eve.

Christmas Eve at Uncle Dan's

Christmas Eve morning we packed up the car and headed to Massachusetts for the holiday. First stop was dinner at Uncle Danny's house.

Andrew got to meet his cousin Gillian

He finally got to hang out with Uncle Matt


Andrew definitely remembers his Auntie Meg :-)

After a very long day it was time for a nap with Andrew's Great Aunt Lina

Jammie suit Saturday

Not a bad way to spend a freezing cold, snowy Saturday!

Boys and remotes

What is it about boys and the remote???

Mommy's christmas helper

Andrew spent the morning getting into the christmas spirit and helping Mommy wrap presents :-)

Christmas spirit is apparently exhausting... but he is FINALLY napping in his crib!

Hanging out with Christine!!

Last Friday Christine came over to spend her day off with Andrew. He and Max were very happy to see her!


Max likes to keep Andrew nice and close... might be an example of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer ;-)
Hanging out in our comphy clothes...

Then it was time to dismantle the diaper cake that Auntie Meg made before we outgrew the diapers she used to make it. It may seem a lot bigger than Andrew but trust me, there is only about 4 days worth of diapers in there!

Santa!

Since it was snowing out today and starting to feel like Christmas we decided to take Andrew to the Sparta bookstore to see Santa. Must have been the weather because we were the only ones there. He got to have his picture taken with Santa and we bought a few christmas books to get into the spirit :-)

Yesterday was the first cold day that we've really had so we had to get all bundled up for our walk.

Tree Trimming

Grandpa was in NJ for work and came over to help Andrew decorate his first christmas tree. We had a great time.
