Happy 3rd birthday Porter












I had never really planned a Birthday party for 3 year olds before.....all I can say is what a lot of work to be over an hour later. Porter loves The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and it is so funny when he sings the songs. It was very fitting to then have a Mickey Mouse Party. We ate hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dogs, and Mickey Mouse cake pops. We played pin the bowtie on Mickey, guess the balloon popping game, a bean bag toss with Mickey's head, Twister, and a dance competition to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song "Hot Dog". All of the kids got prize ribbons for winning their games. We also made Mickey wands and decorated Mickey ears. Porter and his friends opened all of the presents in about 10 seconds. The whole party was gone in a flash, and I was lucky to get the photos I did. Justin left with my brothers and Ashlee took a couple of pictures for me, Thank you Ashlee!

Dickens Christmas Festival




Well, we went to the fairgrounds to see the Dickens Festival, but really to see Santa. I am at the tail end of 8 kids and I don't ever remember believing in Santa, so it was worth it to me to wait the 90 minutes with two cranky kids to see the most believable Santa ever. Oh, and they had real reindeer there also. They are very small with jagged antlers. Very cool!
