Porter's newest obsession is the Little Drummer Boy. We've been listening to the Josh Groban Christmas album in the car and all I can play is that song. So it was fitting that this year he requested to participate in our Nativity as the Little Drummer Boy.
He was a little crestfallen when he found that there is actually no real account of this boy in the scriptures so I quickly added the entrance of the drummer boy onto the end of the presentation. Please note the drum because this was the most important part!
Christmas, as always, was fabulous this year. I tried to keep it more low key and less stressful (especially because I have been fighting for 2 weeks and what my grandpa is now treating me for: mycoplasma aka walking pneumonia) Our Christmas festivities began on the 23rd with a LeBaron Christmas Eve party. We had a fabulous dinner and a great program.
Christmas Eve then happened with Porter serenading the Boucher family with his rendition of the Little Drummer Boy, a screening of Arthur Christmas (which is darling, totally loved it) and then the Christmas Eve festivities at my mom's house. And lucky for us, the elves came and brought pajamas!

Christmas Morning was nothing short of magical in our house. We tried to keep things simple with the whole something you want, something you need . . .

| SANTA CAME!! |

| Jack got Mickey Mouse and Sesame Street |
Unfortunately, the English grandparents and Uncle Justin didn't get the memo. . .
Leap Pad, Cars Car, Grocery Cart and a Toy Story "Castle" gave my kids everything they wanted and needed and more!
