Happy Birthday, Nate-Dog

Today my little peanut is two. I can't believe how fast time flies; I get all teary just thinking about it. My little man is already two and it seems like just yesterday he was born. Well, here's a pictorial tribute to Nate.

Disney Trip

This past Sunday, Ray's parents, Ray, and I went to Disney world with Grace and Nate. Grace has been before, almost exactly three years ago, and a little older than Nate is now. This was Nate's first time, and both kids had a great time. We went Sunday night from 7pm-12a for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which featured free hot chocolate, apple juice, cookies and apple slices throughout the park all night. Yum. Then we went all day Monday. Here are some pics from our trip:


Grace with Grandma as we told her we were at
Disney World. We kept it a surprise.



Nate trying to catch the fake snow flurries down Main Street.


Nate meets Chipmunk. Nate attacks Chipmunk with hugs.


Grace dancing with Goofy.


Nate was amazed with the fireworks. We were amazed with
Nate, since Grace was SO terrified of the fireworks
when we took her to Magic Kingdom, we had to find some
place indoors to take her until the show was over.



Grace and I in front of Cinderella's Castle. At this particular moment,
Grace did not want her picture taken in front of the castle.



However, a few minutes later, she changed her mind as girls often do,
and wanted her picture taken in front of the castle. So...here she is with Ray.



This was a glimpse of some show going on right
before closing at midnight in front of the castle.



Another shot of the castle.


Nate with Grandpa on the Train.


Grace and Nate talking to the ducks. Quack, Quack!


Nate and Daddy in the Swiss Family Robinson's Tree House.


Ray, the kids, and I in the SFR Tree House.
And yeah, I have no clue what Grace is doing....



Grace meeting Sleeping Beauty, aka Princess Aurora,
and showing her the Sleeping Beauty on her shirt.



Saying goodbye to Sleeping Beauty, who happens
to now outrank Cinderella as Favorite Princess.



Grace meeting Cinderella.


Goodbye pose with Cinderella.


Nate meeting Mickey. The kid has no fear, just walks
right up as if he's known Mickey his whole life.



Nate kisses Mickey.


Goodbye hug.


Nate waiting to ride Dumbo.


Grace, Nate and I just about to get on the ride


Grace, Nate and I just about to get off the ride.

Here are some pics I've taken over the last few days. I figured since I'm a poor blogger, the least I could do is give y'all some pics to look at.


I just LOVE this pic. I think they look almost like a heart.


This is Nate's "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" impression


Peek-a-boo!


To the naked eye this may look like the pic of a child going down the slide.
On the contrary, this is Nate going UP the slide.



Hi


Having fun


Isn't he just the cutest little boy ever?


Grace wasn't able to do this when she was his age.
In fact, I think she may have been closer to being 3 years old.
He's just a natural climber!



My little Grace....so pretty


Ray, Grace, and I after Grace's elementary school Christmas program
(Nate was not there and was being watched by a friend since he's way too
active to take to quiet places where you need to sit for any period of time)




Gracie after her program in her Christmas dress. How cute!
