Well this is a little late but here it is! So Christmas this year was great! We had 3 Christmas' this year which meant life was busy! Our first was together just our little family on Christmas eve. Around 5pm we headed over to Matt's parents for Christmas Eve celebrations. We had some delicious food along with some fun family time. We then headed over to watch the Nativity at Heritage Park. Porter fell asleep in the car on the way over and slept right up until we got in to the Nativity. Since we forgot to bring a snowsuit (we thought he would just stay in the carseat) Matt decided to put Porter in his coat with him to keep him warm. It was super cute!
Next we headed home to start our celebrations just our little family. We thought it would be easier to have our Christmas before things got crazy in the morning. So we opened all our presents on Christmas eve. It was awesome. I got Matt some golf clubs as his big present, and they were a hit! I was soo happy since I had no idea what kind he wanted. I was spoiled and I definitely spoiled Matt. It was a great Christmas.

Happy Little man!
So next was Christmas Morning. We have a tradition that recently started with the Whiteley family, where we wear onesies during our Christmas' together. We went over bright and early to the Matt's parents house (bright and early meaning around 10 o' clock). We had breakfast which is the best, it's french toast with blueberries and candied pecans. It is delicious! We got some pretty good shots of everyone in our onesies! Porter was a spoiled little man, getting presents from everyone and a stocking! It was just a great day. We even got him to nap at the Whiteley house, which rarely happens! We were lucky.
Such a good shot!
Cozy and ready for the story of the Saviour's birth.
Checking out the new toys.

Oh you know, just munching on my hand.

Testing the light.
Yes I have crazy eyes.. but it's the best one.
Merry Christmas!
Finally Boxing day was our last Christmas event. We headed over to the Cooper house for some Christmas presents and a delicious dinner. As you can see from the pictures by the end we were a little tuckered out! Porter was once again spoiled (as was I) and we had some fun playing with my sister's kids and all their toys. Dinner was delicious and I made a trifle for dessert, and it was gobbled up. I have been unofficially designated as the trifle maker for our family at Christmas, which is ok by me because I don't really mind making it..
Nap time.
These 2 crazies!
So for New Year's we actually did something! It's been quite a while since that happened! My cousin Ashlyn had a party at her house (an early New Year's for those of us with babies). I have to say I had fun. I got to meet a few new people, and chat with a couple that I already knew. Porter was great through the whole evening and I ate way more than I should have! I'm so glad that we were invited and able to go! Just one shot of that evening!
