School is finally out and "Christmas Week," as Porter has named it, is finally in session.
What a fun Christmas season it has been already. Early in December, Porter performed in his first grade Christmas show, where toys came alive to sing holiday songs. Porter wanted to be a green lego and was thrilled about his costume until the night of the performance, where he was terrified that everyone would think he looked weird. But as soon as he put it on, his buddies were so sweet and told him how cool he looked. The performance went on!
Here's Porter with his good friend, Levi:
...And his best friend, Palmer:
(Of course Emma Rose wasn't shy about putting on her brother's costume...)
Aunt Jenny & Uncle Justin came to town for an early Christmas celebration, so all of the Leavitts got together and went iceskating downtown. They had a blast!
(Although I think Corey had more fun than anyone, getting his skating legs back!)
Emma Rose loves her Panda slippers from Aunt Jenny & Uncle Justin!
We had an early celebration for Ansley's 9th Birthday. She and Porter snuggled watching the Bronco's game...
...while Caroline and Emma Rose had a princess fashion show:
I had to include these pictures of Duke, who has been up to no good, but he's still such a good kitty to Emma Rose and Porter:
Emma Rose also had a little classroom snowman performance at her preschool:
Here's a little video of her singing:
The Christmas season has been filled with all kinds of mischief from Rudy, the kids' elf. Here are a couple fun shots I got of him...
He made breakfast for the kids one morning:
And he put together a scavenger hunt another morning:
Another breakfast treat:
Sunbathing elf:
A sword-fight with Luke Skywalker:
And a snowball fight with Twilight:
He even left a gingerbread house kit for the kids one morning:
...And of course Corey and I celebrated our 11-year anniversary with a beautiful day of skiing at Vail.
Feeling blessed this Christmas season! Merry merry from our house to yours!
