Christmas


I am a big blog slacker! I had my husband home for the last week and a half so I neglected my blog in order to spend time with him. It was fun having him home and now I am kinda going through withdrawals! I don't know what to do with myself.


Christmas Eve we spent with Brandon's family and Christmas day we spent with mine. I have a lot of pictures and I will try not to comment on all of them because this could turn into the biggest post ever if I do.

Waking Valerie up on Christmas morning...can you just see the excitement!?!


If you know me at all you know I am a HUGE BYU fan...so of course Brandon's family got a huge kick out of watching me open this gag gift on Christmas Eve!! I say gag gift because I think I literally did gag!

We have a Porter family tradition of eating blueberry muffins and bacon gravy. I look forward to it every year! Don't knock it till ya try it! This is Valerie's first 4 generation picture with Gramps.

Ice skating at the Olympic Oval. We couldn't keep Valerie off the ice, she loved it!

You guys looked like you had a lot of fun. You are such a good wife, I had Skylar home for Christmas week and I was kicking him out the door when it was over!

Val is just a photocopy of you. She is adorable, I love the bangs. I can't wait for the day when my child has more hair, and she can actually have a hair STYLE. That's like 3 years off. I wanted to get Kate that same Piano!!! I loved it, but I wanted to get it the day after thanksgiving on sale and they were long sold out by the time I got to the store...
