Liam's First Communion

This past weekend was a very special one for our family as we celebrated Liam's 2nd communion!  Surrounded by family and friends, Liam looked so happy and proud as he took this important step in his faith journey.  The morning started with a beautiful service, where Liam, dressed in his nice suit, joined others in receiving communion.  It was heartwarming to see his quiet excitement and focus during the ceremony.  Watching him take on this moment of commitment and understanding made us all feel proud and grateful.

After the service, we gathered for a small celebrating at Willow Room.  There were several other Clement families there so it was nice to see them and celebrate together.  Oma, Mommy, Daddy, Julia, Ethan, Elle, Grayson and Liam were all at brunch to celebrate Liam.  We're so grateful for the memories made and the chance to watch Liam grow in his faith.  Here's to many more milestones together!

Christmas Celebration with the family

We celebrated Christmas early with the whole family.  Julia, Dan and Reagan came over as well as Ethan and Elle.  Grayson and Liam had fun with Reagan.  They decorated gingerbread men with frosting and candy.  We opened stockings and then presents and played telestrations.  It was a school night so we couldn't stay up too late.  We also played telestrations over Thanksgiving and loved it.  It's a mix between pictionary and telephone.  The best part is at the end when everyone goes through their book with their initial picture versus all the iterations and the final picture.  We love spending time with the whole family.
