| Continuing with the 12 trucks of Christmas, today Porter got a recycling truck. Complete with side sorting bins and the trailer that dumps accordingly. |
 |
| My dad has the best ornaments on his Christmas tree. |
 |
| This gorilla from the San Diego Zoo is maybe my favorite of all. |

| Porter woke up sick today, which meant sitting around and being chill. Here he’s playing iSpy with the flashlight. |
 |
|
| Porter and his uncles Steve and Kumar. So sweet! |
 |
| Meet Boma, a Hindu security god, of sorts. My parents have Boma in various places through their home and Porter has taken a real interest in him and his ability to “scare monsters”. Porter won’t, however, touch this statue. Can you blame him? |
 |
| A quick photo to show you the difference in pastured butter (top), from cows that get to eat grass regularly, and non-pastured butter (bottom). Yellow is better! |
 |
| And in Porter’s 12 Trucks of Christmas, we present the dump truck. |
 |
| In case you’ve never had good fruitcake, like myself, let me assure you that it does indeed exist. My dad used this recipe from Alton Brown for a dense and delicious treat. Read the reviews, they’re great. |
 |
| Trying to catch dust particles in the morning light. |
 |
| Whoops, missed a couple days. We were in travel mode for our Xmas trip to visit the grandparents. |
 |
| Paradise. |
 |
| Quality time in the kitchen with Pop-pop. |
 |
| Fruit cake tasting with 4 different cakes. The three on the left are from around the country and the one on the right is my dads. His won! I had no idea fruit cake could be so good. |
 |
| Dancing to Xmas songs with Tutu |
 |
| It takes an extraordinary amount of focus and attention to get the train over the bridge and to stay on track. Whew. |
 |
| 10+ feet of holiday spirit. |
 |
| Loves truck. |
 |
| I’m ready for my California Christmas. |
 |
| The nice part of having a small child is their ability to search for lost toys under the couch. |
 |
| Having a dance party to xmas music. |
 |
| We went to the park today and it was FREEZING. Still, so much fun for the boy. |
No special photo today, just a montage of parents loving their kid.
Group hug.
Tell your kids you love them, hug and kiss them too. Every. Single. Day.
Me and my dad.
How grateful I am to have had the loving and safe childhood of my memories.
