Nate's First Christmas!

Tada!  Computer problems solved.....xmas pictures uploaded..........here's some of Nate's 1st Christmas.
This is Christmas Eve at Great Grandma Komprood's

Nate..fall fall falling

Nate got a singing Gingerbread man who he was very intrigued by...

Bow on the head

This is one way to open cards...

Shoulda just got him bags this year..

Christmas morning at the Ruf Household.....belly Shirt!

Someones spoiled...

Favorite item out of that stocking was a bottle of shampoo, he couldn't put it down!

This is his "Thanks Grandma" face

Jealous boys wondering who brought that baby that got all the presents..

Grandma Jeanne got Nate a portable DVD player for long car rides to Monroe so Nate can watch his favorite show "Little Einsteins"...he was thrilled!

Aunt Susie and Uncle Jim had Christmas Day at their house and Nate decided he wanted to remove Aunt Susie's lovely decorations from the window....thankfully Aunt Barb was there to nicely put them back in place

Great Grandpa John read Nate some of his new books....Pop up Elmo has now perished as Nate has exuberantly ripped him from the page!

We made it out to dinner one night with Carissa and Lola....oh Mike and Joe were there as well :)

Here is the utilization of Grandma Jeanne's present on the drive home, what a tough life this kid has!  Don't worry, we only used it after we read plenty of books and sang some songs.  I initially told Trisha and my mom I didn't want that as a gift for Nate because he doesn't need to be entertained at all times, and we should do other educational things first, or he can entertain himself....Trisha proceeded to call me a hippie mom :)  I still don't think he needs to watch hours of tv or watch it the whole ride home...which he doesn't, and I have no problems being a "hippie mom" so...  Bite me Trisha!

Last fall fall falling montage....it happens a lot

Well, there was Christmas in a nut shell.  Hopefully, I will be blogging more consistently now that we are technically up and running!
