Christmas 2008
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We went to my grandmother's for Christmas and then up to Dalhart for a few days. This year, Millie asked for candy canes for Christmas! So, on Christmas morning when she saw that her stocking was filled with candy canes she said...I got just what I wanted! (We hope that her requests stay that simple.)
We also celebrated Millie turning 4! She was thrilled when she found out that her cousins would get to be with her on her special day.
In Dalhart, Will went hunting with Johnathan and Papa. They shot lots of pheasant. We nicknamed Will--Pheasant Man (check out the pictures). I also celebrated my 29th birthday! What a great year. I'm so blessed!

Thanksgiving in Oklahoma
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Will's family. Sarah and Samuel (Will's sister) hosted us, Samuel's family and Grandpapa and Grandmama at their place in Enid, OK. We got to meet our new neice Hannah Swan. She is adorable or as Millie says, precious! Skylar still walks around the house saying Hannah, Hannah!
Lake House Birthday Party
This year my mother turned 60. (I'm sure she loves that I'm broadcasting this to everyone!) My sister, Tara won a Lake house getaway weekend near Wimberly, TX so we decided to make this the surprise destination. We invited mother's side of the family plus us Porter kids so in total we had about 28! The Lake House was AMAZING. The house was right on the lake and had boats, sea doo's, plenty of space to relax and slept 20 in beds. We had so much fun!
Corpus Christi
We went to Corpus Christi for Licia Dodson's wedding. She is a really good friend of ours from college. Her wedding was beautiful and I was able to catch up with the Gaither's and some other college friends too.
The girls have never been to the beach so we thought that this trip was the perfect opportunity to let them experience a Texas beach. They had so much fun. We had to pull them out of the water both days! We also went to the Texas Aquarium to view some of the fish, dolphins and other sea creatures up close and personal. Millie said that she loved the sea turtles best. She said that when she grows up she wants to train the turtles to do flips just like the dolphins!

Happy Birthday Daddy
We celebrated Will's birthday by taking him to our favorite mexican restuarant in downtown Bryan. Then we opened gifts and ate german chocolate cake back at the house! I guess as you age you need more help blowing out your candles!
