home for the holidays at the porters'!

next stop on our home for the holidays tour of oklahoma was at blake's parents' house!

as with every good porter event, we hung out with great people, ate a lot, talked about eating while eating a lot, & did something revolving our beloved sooners.  it was a mighty fine time.

which need any other name.}

the two foods we miss the most while we are in alabama are mexican & beef.  since we did the mexican & steak thing with my mom, we did a lot of hamburger with the porters.  we always have to go to the family favorite red horse grill - best onion burgers in norman.  & we got to try out a new downtown instant classic - the garage.  we had some fabulous bison burgers with fancy toppings.  & played skeeball!  oh my gosh, we will have to have a skeeball machine in the man cave someday.

blakey hadn't been home since last christmas!  craziness.  he was so excited to get to hang out with his family again.  we missed justin & peyton a ton, but blake did get a good bit of little brother time:

the sooners played their bowl game while at the porters', so we watched outside from the hot tub!  a not too hot hot tub on a not too cold december evening with a big tv & a couple of beers is a pretty fantastic way to watch the sooners, even if it is the insight bowl.

& tanky got to play with his cousin, kaizer!  they ran & ran & ran & ran.  & loved every minute of it.

{my tired little guy}

{love him!}

for breakfast, dave created a belini bar!  it was fabulous.  tradition peach, delicious blueberry, & strawberry too.  what a fun morning.  we should remember this for a bridal shower some day...

love the porters!  {hehehe.  such a fitting phrase, isn't it?}  love our time at home.  

{somehow i didn't get a single picture with dave in it.  what the heck, dave??  next time.  or no more huehuetenango for you!}

love love,

kjp.
