Hey Hey It's Christmas time.....

So, this Christmas was kind of crazy! Kevin and I enjoyed the best vaction in Playa Del Carmen Mexico from the 17th -24th. We left the little man home with Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd, and made our way back to him on Christmas Eve. We were really tired but ready to wake up with Porter on Christmas Morning. Porter woke up around 6:40 and I took him into the living room to rock him back to sleep. However, my plan was foiled once he saw his pile of goodies Santa had left him.




Porter was really fun this year after every present he opened he would say, "WOW!"
He got lots of toys, Santa and all of his grandparents really spoiled him.

A Christmas Miracle.....

For those of you who know our sweet little Porter, you know he is one stubborn little man. He does things on his timeline and will not be pushed!!! He has finally made the long journey from scooting like a monkey, to crawling like a crazy man, to walking like a ninety year old! Last week when I picked him up from daycare he walked across the room. I was so excited that I almost started to cry, the other teachers were laughing at me! Each day since then it has been a fight to get him to repeat the act for his dad. He would take two or three steps and then just start crawling. He was not convinced walking was the better way to travel. Then, tonight he finally did it for his dad! He had lots of fun walking back and forth between the two of us. He moves so slowly and takes the littlest steps, it cracks me up! Here is a short video of him walking.

Santa Sucks!

Santa Sucks, just ask the millions of little kids who have to sit on his lap each year. Who says that Santa Clause isn't scary! If, you think about it why would little kids think he looks like a jolly old saint nick! He is an overweight, hairy, old individual and he is scary to little people. Monday, the Santa visited the law-school so we took Porter to sit on his lap. He was not a big fan, of the old fart! This first picture pretty much sums up Porter's opinion on the old man.



He was a little more open to the idea when we all stood behind Santa!

Oh Me Oh My it's Christmas Time!

So, I have really gotten into the Christmas spirit this year! I am usually a last minute person, but I got the bug early this year and went with it. While, in Utah for Thanksgiving, we went up Ephraim Canyon to get a Christmas tree with the Daniels. Kevin's Aunt April found me the perfect tree, and we packed it all the way back to Laramie. I really love how it turned out this year, with my decorations from the Dollar Tree!!






I got most of my decorations from the Dollar Tree, great store!




Since, my house was clean from decortating for Christmas. I decided to take some pictures of the new apartment!

The Kitchen



Our last apartment had no room for a table! So, we are glad to have one in this apartment.



The Living Room

Also, today I decided to make a gingerbread house with the little man. For, the most part he was really interested! After awhile he lost interested and started throwing the candy everywhere, but it was still fun!












Oh, and did I mention I get to go to Cancun from the 17-24 of this month! Oh yea I can't wait. This is what awaits me....

This one is for CE

So, when Porter was blessed at just two weeks old my Grandpa Wheeler gave him a football! For those of you who know him, you also understand fully how much my Grandpa loves sports of all kind, but particularly football. Well, Gramps we have a player on our hands!!! This kid loves to throw a football, and can quite well considering the sizes of this little ones hands. Here are some really cute videos of him playing with the football you got him Gramps!!

Turkey Day!

So it was so great to go home for a couple of days and see our wonderful families! It really was so nice to see them, we had a great time. We had turkey day at the Daniels this year the company was funny and the food was tasty! It was really fun to watch Porter and McKay play together that night! They were cracking me up, making each other laugh and wrestle!
