Deer Valley Airport

The morning after Christmas we went to the Deer Valley Airport for breakfast. Although it was unseasonably cool for Phoenix, we all enjoyed watching the planes. I'm not sure who had more fun, Porter or Grandpa Ted who used to fly his own plane.

Christmas at the Duperes

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We were lucky enough to have GG and Grandpa Ted visit us from Nebraska. Santa and our families spoiled Porter (and Rick and I too!).

What happens with the babysitter stays with the babysitter...

...unless the babysitter takes pictures with mommy's camera! Lauren and her friend Alix babysat Porter on Saturday night and lucky for us they took a bunch of pictures. Alix was nice enough to bring along a gingerbread train for them to decorate. The pictures tell the story of how that went! Porter adores Lauren and it is great for Rick and I to see how much fun he has with his babysitters when we're not around.

Goodbye Lunch

We met Chanda and the boys Friday for lunch one last time before they had to catch a plane Saturday morning to go to Nebraska. We will definitely miss having the Copples in Arizona!!!

Merry Christmas, a little early

Sunday night we went to the Ritz for the family holiday party. Porter got to see Santa and a giant gingerbread man.
