Happy Birthday Ivy!!!

Ivy with her flowers from "DADDY!" (he wants to be the 1st man in her life to give her flowers)




I can't believe Ivy is 2 years old already! That has zoomed by. We had a little cake and ice cream party on Monday. She is in a fun stage right now. She was hysterical to watch opening her presents, she was absolutely elated. Laughing and hyper, so funny we all cracked up. She is learning lots of new words and understands so much. I am always glad when you can communicate better with little ones. She wants to "go" everywhere with whoever is leaving, she will go and get her shoes on and grab her little purse, and say "me, go?" and if I answer correctly, she'll just laugh and giggle, it's so cute! She hates nursery, she cried so hard at church a couple of weeks ago, that she threw up all over her dress! Luckily I am almost positive she missed the teacher, and just got it on herself. The next week she sat on my lap for all of the young women's meeting, so I guess we'll try that for awhile, she's so cute, who cares, right? Anyway we LOVE our little Ivy, and we are so blessed to have her in our family!!

We had our 4th annual ice skating event on New Years Day. It is a fun tradition we plan to continue. The kids have SO much fun, and are getting to be quite good on the ice!! Even Carson did AWESOME! I of course with the other mama's (and my dad) stayed off the ice with the little ones and tried not to freeze!! What a fun memory!! p.s. thanks for the scrap book page, MOM!! love it!!

Christmas at the Porter house was wonderful!! We had happy children, and enjoyed family and friends all day! Thanks to Aubrey, this darling vanity is now in the girls room, (owned by Paij). She did such a great job, I was grateful for her talent!! We after much thought got a flat T.V. for the front room, it totally makes the room feel HUGE!! We are so grateful for such great family and friends who we share such wonderful memories with!! I think I need a new camera, the pics are not that great, but it is what it is:)
