Opening Presents:

Nathan wasn't very interested so Mommy did the opening for him!

He loved his monster hat from Uncle Nick and the boys

Another hat complete with mittens!

Cool ride-on motorcycle from Grandma George

All Done!

Callen tried on one of Nate's hats.

Cupcake Time:

Mommy & Daddy helped blow out the candle.

Taking it apart.

Believe it or not he would not even try one bite!  He destroyed it and then was done!

Maybe he's allergic to cupcakes?!

Trying out his new toys:

Grandpa had to put together Nate's plasma car first.  

Then Daddy had to make sure it was safe. 

He'll be flying past us in no time!

He wasn't quite sure of the noises his motorcycle made...

Mommy had to try out the plasma car too.

His new swing from Auntie Ashley!

Hanging with friends on the carpet.

Callen is working on catching up to Nathan's speed when crawling.

Parties wear Grandpa out...

Bye Bye everybody!  Thanks for coming!
