We have been loving all the time we've spent together this week! Zane and Bryson go back to school on Tuesday so we're trying to cram as much fun in as we can. The day after Christmas, Ashlyn and I had a Mommy/Daughter baking afternoon. We made Daddy's favorite cream cheese cookies (for the second time this Christmas) and some of my favorite oatmeal/M & M cookies. The kids like anything so this was the fair thing to do. :)
Ashlyn is getting so big! Not only does she love vacuuming, but she loves washing dishes too. She's my amazing little helper!
And she insisted that Daddy would want his cookies to be blue this time instead of green...so blue they were!
Yum!!
What could the boys have possibly been doing while we were baking??? They left to go use Bryson's new set of golf clubs, of course!! Saying that Bryson was excited was a complete understatement! He could not contain his excitement and couldn't believe that he was going to a real golf course with his Daddy!
I'm so happy that Zane took pictures for me while they were out playing!
Zane was paying to play and I know Bryson's attention span can be short and he wouldn't last long on the golf course, so I told Zane that he could call me to come pick Bryson up when the excitement wore off and he got cranky/restless. I assumed Bryson would last an hour...if that. I was completely shocked when the boys came walking through the door 4 hours later! Bryson played the whole 18 holes with Zane!
Time to head home for dinner!
Zane and I still talk about how amazed we are that Bryson was so well behaved for such a long period of time! And I know Bryson had a blast because he hasn't quit talking about it since! He even announced tonight that I need to let everyone know that he's changed his name to Tiger Woods and people need to start calling him that (Zane told him that he should at least go with the name Rory McIlroy). :)
We had one more surprise activity planned for the kids this week. Tuesday we took them to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. They loved it and are still talking about their favorite parts. This was a special time for them because we don't go to the movie theater often. It was fun to hear Ashlyn laugh at parts and Bryson was so excited he literally bounced in his chair throughout the movie.
I'm so glad we get to enjoy our Christmas break together and I'm happy we still have a few days left before school starts again!

How fun! CJ loves going to play golf with Michael also! Happy New Year!
Way to go Bryson, I mean Tiger, I mean Rory! Mimi got a new zebra print golf bag from Papi for Christmas. You'll have to come play with us. Ashy...you are an awesome little helper. You can come bake us cookies and do our dishes any time! What a fun week you've had :)
Love you...
Mimi
Oh me, Oh my.....another Special GREAT day at the Porters. I love you making such fun, wonderful days for your children's memories. Ashlyn the little mini you and Bryson the little mini Zane. You could tell Bryson was one excited little boy feeling so grown up going with his dad for a day of golf. Wow! Ashlyn is sure learning to make someone a good wife with her cooking and cleaning. Her mommy sure made one guy (Zane) a wonderful wife and mommy for your children. I am proud of both of you. You are both great examples and teachers for those precious babies and you are doing it with a lot of love. Thanks, for sharing your special days.
I love you,
Nanna
I loved the videos. I am getting caught up on the blogs since I am back home to a computer with internet. It looks like you guys had a fantastic Christmas. I can't wait to see you all in person. Kiss Tiger and little Martha Stewart from Granner. I am going to go back and watch the videos again. I miss you so much. I love you, Granner
