Clow Cousins Reunion Weekend 2008

Auntie DeeDee & Uncle Chris hosted our annual Clow Cousins reunion weekend down in Cape Cod.  It was a fun weekend!  We got to go see the Nauset Lighthouse on Saturday night and it was lit up and decorated for Christmas.  Then we all went bowling and closed the place down (note to the grandparents:  Norah & her daddy went to the hotel at a somewhat reasonable hour for bedtime so that Mommy could cut loose for a few hours).  On Sunday we watched the Patriots kick the Buffalo Bills butts!  Go Pats!  It was a fun weekend and we are already looking forward to the next reunion in 2009!

Merry Christmas!!!!

And what a Christmas it was!  Norah was so excited about Christmas this year.  Having an advent calendar really helped build the excitement.  For about 2 days before Christmas she couldn't stop bouncing and jumping she had so much energy.  

She awoke Christmas morning to a stocking overflowing with gifts and several presents under the tree from Santa.  A few of her favorite Santa presents were the Wall-E dvd, the Princess scooter, the play-doh ice-cream shoppe and the new dollhouse!  Thank you Santa!

She also received a lot of great gifts from her family and friends.  Thank you to everyone for their generosity.  We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Baby Christopher's 1st Birthday

Wow!  It's been 1 year since Baby Christopher was born.  What a great addition he has been to our extended family.  Norah loves having a new cousin.  We had a lot of fun at his 1st birthday party and as you can see, Christopher had a blast diving into his cake!  

Norah's 4th Birthday

I know it's almost New Year's, but we wanted to start off our new blog somewhere and thought it best to start off with Norah's 4th Birthday party.  We had the party at our church fellowship hall and Norah had about 12 of her friends attend.  The kids had a lot of fun playing with the puppet theatre and playing dress up on the stage.  They all did an art project and had fun decorating Christmas ornaments that they were all able to take home and hang on their trees.  Thank you to everyone who came - Norah really had a great time!  We can't believe our baby is 4 years old!

We thought we'd take you back 4 years to our 1st family picture of the 3 of us as we are leaving Beverly Hospital and bringing Norah home when she was 4 days old.  The next one is of the 3 of us on Norah's 4th Birthday.  Our baby isn't a baby anymore, but a beautiful little girl.
