Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time there was a little girl who epitomized what the Christmas season is all about. Her spirit was joyful, boisterous, and true. She made her own fun, laughed at her own jokes, and sang her own songs.

 We make our own fun around here!

She enjoyed the outdoors and a good old-fashioned tractor ride through the fields.

There's a reindeer on my back!

Trying to get a feel for the tree.

This is the one!

Always most interested in the leaves.

She was stylish and appreciated a good hat.

She enjoyed all things musical and delighted in the sounds of the season.

Norah has an eye for true ornamental style.

She had a love for animals.

She enjoyed a good story and even liked to tell her own stories. 

Evening reading with Dada.

Grandpa tells the best stories.

Reading is fun with Auntie Em!

She had respect and a healthy dose of fear for the jolly man in the red suit but was not above impersonating him.

Mom and Dad took Norah to visit Santa at daycare.

Enjoying our visit with Santa...

All is well from a distance.

Nope! No thanks!

She brings joy and laughter to her parents' lives and touches the hearts of all those around her. She made Christmas a very special time for her family this year and her parents can't wait to celebrate many more Christmases with her. For each day Norah continues to amaze them as her cheerful and curious personality shines through more and more.

The End.
