Christmas and New Year wrap up...

What an incredibly fast vacation. I can not believe I am already back home in Albuquerque watching Edward all alone.

Christmas Eve I had my very last performance of White Christmas. I loved it! Every minute. I wanted to get a picture with Edward on Santa's lap, but we did not connect after the show so you will just have to do with me holding Edward in my finale costume next to the unlit tree.

We drove all night and arrived in Kingman around 10 PM. Not too bad because the roads were empty! Edward received so many gifts. He now has a new wardrobe that will last him another 6 to 8 months!! He also will have enough toys to last him 3 to 5 years.

My Mom, Kendra, Blair, Dad, and even Stephen worked on a quiet book for Edward. This was a huge project. It ended up taking about three full days of coloring, sewing, hammering, and gluing. However, it looks FANTASTIC!!

Tuesday morning we drove down to Phoenix. I was so excited to see all of my friends and family so I hosted (well Blair and Craig) a little get together. How many people came??? ONE! Chelsea took a few minutes out of her schedule to see me. Oh, don't feel guilty if you didn't stop by, I am sure you have a valid excuse. :)

We spent the rest our weekend watching movies and hanging out with Grandma B. She gave Edward a cute little glowworm and some very awesome clothes. I think Edward misses his Grandma's already. He keeps taking my hand and trying to get me to help him walk around the house. His newest attempts are to climb up and down the stairs.

I really had a wonderful time seeing new babies and friends. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store. Stephen and I spent our New Year with Craig, Blair, Kendra, Micheal, and Sharla. We played some games and SOMEHOW... (no surprise) Stephen won.

Luke Lines, Wesley Walker, and Bedward Barnes (ha ha ha, had to stick with the matching first and last names)

After visiting family, I realize how much I really miss Arizona and being around so many people that are amazing. I have really been doing some thinking about where I have been and where I will go from here. So many things change and I hope I am ready for the new challenges of 2010.

Happy Holidays!
