Christmas fun and other matters

Hello to the three two of you who haven’t given up on my blog! Yay! (I’m counting on my Mom and Ben’s mom to still be holding out hope for a new post!) A few pictures from our holidays, in really no particular order whatsoever (be warned, this is mega long and picture heavy!):

Christmas! 021

Babies loving on other babies. Way too cute.

Christmas! 179

All of us Lemmons (and Grissens!) in Portland for Christmas. So much fun. (And if you’re reading this and I haven’t gotten your pictures to you yet, don’t worry, by the end of the month for sure! At least, I’ll send them out by then.)

Christmas! 108

Love this boy!

Christmas! 130

Thank-you Monica for taking our family pics!

Christmas! 196

I really LOVE this picture of Ben’s parents, don’t you?

Christmas! 316

During the cousins nativity. It was adorable. Smile

My little wise man, angel, and shepherd. I love them.

Christmas! 397

The Christmas haul of ~25 people. Crazy! It took 3 1/2 hours to open everything!

Christmas! 422

Green and red pancakes Christmas morning, a beloved Lemmon family tradition. Other Lemmon Christmas traditions include pizza on Christmas Eve, and the famous Lemmon rolls and jello with Christmas dinner. I kind of love that our traditions all have to do with food. It definitely works for me!

Christmas! 519

It was love at first sight.

Christmas! 479

I love being an Aunt. I have the cutest nieces and nephews. Kenzie is such a little sweetheart.

Ok, I know this isn’t exactly anything to do with holidays, but he’s too cute not to share.

A little peak for my friend Darci. She has the cutest little girl that I got to photograph a few weeks ago. Jane is so precious, I just love her!
