Truett's First Christmas

It's so fun having a little one around for Christmas, although I think it will be much more fun when Truett realizes he is actually getting gifts.  His favorite thing from the morning was definitely the wrapping paper...he just kept tearing it and trying to eat it. 

Truett with his favorite gift

The new LeapFrog Learn and Groove musical Table that I looked all over for!

He had to make sure everything passed the taste test

Mmmmm....the blocks are good!

So is the orange!
You may think it's wierd that we gave Truett an orange for Christmas.  It is actually a family tradition from Chad's family to always get an orange in the stocking.  His Grandma Bea, growing up on the farm in North Dakota, would always get an orange at Christmas.  Having 10 brothers and sisters, that was all their parents could afford.  In fact, it was the only fruit they got all year, and every kid looked forward to it with great anticipation.  So we here in the Warren home are keeping the tradition alive by remembering to be thankful for even the small pleasures in life.

Here's Truett unwrapping his gift.  We only got a short video, because as you can see, the unwrapping took quite awhile.
