Snow storm!	Testing the new snow gear	Ditching the mittens and going straight for the snow	Breakfast with kitty cat
Kisses for kitty	Creating a master piece with Steve	Trying out the different colors	It's not a true painting session until Norah paints herself
Norah loved the lights and was eager to help	Hanging some ornaments	Tree decorating	Norah also really liked the musical snow globe
Just like the cats -- had to get in the box	Hang this one!	Making sure all the tissue paper was removed	Surveying her small mess
Cookie decorating (aka trying to keep Norah from eating everything and dumping all the sprinkles on one cookie)	Sneaking a cookie when I turn my back	Yum!	Helping Grandpa with his birthday present
Yes, a fish stapler (with some premium Senko worms)	Birthday hugs for Grandpa	Opening presents on Christmas Eve	Maybe for 2010 we can move on from the goofy smile
Opening her own light up moon for her room	Inspecting Daddy's fishing gear	The tree and presents await Christmas morning	Norah made a beeline for the giraffe
The infamous bee (responsible for us hearing "Be My Baby" about 239 times)	Rearranging the presents (as much as fun as opening)	Surveying the remaining presents	Another puzzle (in hindsight, should we really be encouraging her on opening different latches?)
M&M's in the stocking -- very popular	Using her new apron to help with cookies	Cookie baking	Norah and Kathy
Modeling her Christmas dress (with her tennis shoes of course)	The Hawkins family	Norah and Grandpa	Merry Christmas!
Norah wondering when she can get back to eating m&ms	Reading break
