Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Holiday Fun

It has been a busy month for the Lemmings Family. We spent the early part of the month in Colorado celebrating an early Christmas. The weather in Colorado was cold and snowy. I think they got about 12" of snow while we were there. It was great being able to have a white Christmas though since the chances of having a white Christmas (or even a wet Christmas) in Atlanta is nearly impossible. Morgan's first experience with snow this season started out when she got some snow in her eyes. That pretty much did it for her for the rest of the trip - she really didn't want to venture out in the yard to build a snowman or just to play in it after that. But that didn't stop the fun, she had a great time wtih Ma-Ma, Papa, and Mimi having breakfast with Santa, building a gingerbread house, and going to Chuck E Cheeses. We even braved the VERY cold weather (in the teens) to go to Zoo Lights. Because of the recent snow and cold weather, it wasn't crowded at all. It was beautiful seeing the zoo decorated with all sorts of lights and enjoying some much needed hot chocolate.

My mom is hanging in there with the chemo and radiation and is scheduled to be finished with treatment in early January (yeah!). It is starting to get tough, but she is handling it great. We are so proud of her. Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.

Other activities that have kept us busy included visiting our church's live nativity, going to Brian's Work Holiday Party, driving around nearby neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights (which we do a few times a week as Morgan loves it), baking Christmas cookies, and going to Jackson and Lily's Birthday parties. Happy Birthday Jackson (3) and Lily (1)! Morgan and I also went to the aquarium with an old friend of mine. It was great seeing Lisa, despite having a cranky 2 year old with us :)

Some updated pictures can be found here. Be sure to check out the picture of Morgan and Brian playing beauty parlor!

We are looking forward to spending a quiet Christmas at home. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We spent the holiday weekend with friends and family in Auburn and Birmingham. We were able to spend quality time with friends and family we haven't seen in a while (and those we have) - so we had a great time.

The picture on the left is of Nana and all her great grandchildren - the number keeps growing!

The picture on the right is of Gray, Peyton and Morgan. It has been a while since all three kids have been together so it was great letting them play. I am constantly reminded of how fast kids grow!
