Lily Gets Baptized

Here are some great photos to prove it. I put my favorite two first.

The hold spirit was watching over Lily ... She is meant for great things

Lily loves her godfather

... and her godmother

.. and she always has her uncles looking out for her

... the actual blessing

... and her mom's family

... and her dad's family ... I swear, it is hard to get that grandfather to look at the camera ... any loud noises or shiny objects and he is a lost cause

... the godparents

... and a great shot of some cousins

... and here are the rest, which are awesome

Here is a nice video of her reaction.

... and a cute photo to go with it

Christmas Family Photos

Every Christmas, the kids and grandkids gather to take some family photos. This is a gift that my mom asked for a few years ago and we have kept the tradition going. Here are some of the best photos.

... the whole gang ...

One of my favorite photos ...

Who is that person in front of the computer looking at us?!

... and from the blooper real, a great moment captured from two cameras at the same time ...

Baby Daddy

Here is a picture my mom sent of me as a child. Her and Lauren think it looks just like Lily.

The Christmas gentlemen enjoying themselves

... and Poppy with Lily (actually a few days before christmas) ... easily one of my favorite photos because I couldn't get my dad to look at the camera for the photo ... afterwards he said "Why were you taking so many photos?!" and I said "Because you wouldn't look at the camera!" and so he responded with, "well, your mom was behind you with this crinkly book" ... hahaha, and we all laughed and told him that was to get the baby's attention! haha ... oh, dad!
