Owatonna Christmas

The Naks headed down to O-town for a celebration before Grandpa Rod and Grandma Katie head South to visit Cassie in Florida.  We played a lot of games and Nina loved hanging out with Gus.  The biggest influence on the weekend would be the gift of a PERCUSSION SET from Aunt Annie and Uncle Adam.  Nina loves banging on her drum, using her maracas, and hitting things with her drumsticks.  She puts her heavy drum over her neck and tries to march around while playing (video upcoming).

Nina has also taken to playing the harmonica as of late.  She has progressed quickly; she used to just pretend it was a hot food item and blow on it, then she started saying "shoe" into it to make some more noise, and now she's getting pretty good.

We took Nina to get her first "real" haircut and it went as well as her trip to see Santa.  She did like the bubbles, the sucker, and the kids, but she still wailed throughout the actual cut.  The only time she let up was when a giant clump of hair fell into her lap and she had to analyze the situation, say "hair," and give us a confused look before resuming her screaming.
