I had a super yummy chocolate Christmas party- homemade hot cocoa, 2 kinds of fudge, chocolate chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cake to attempt to balance all the chocolate.
What a great year! 2009 ended with a super fun Holiday season and without us even knowing it Afton somehow entered, qualified and won the cute awards in every category, she's the cutest thing that happened all year! In case you didn't know about it check out the video of her gripping the sides of the bath (that lasted just a few months but now she's moved on to full on splashing like crazy so I'm glad we got it on video) or the awesome footage of Afton opening up gifts than attacking the camera. 2009 has left us humble and feeling just incredibly blessed. I love the optimistic feeling of starting a new year, it's like a Saturday morning where you're so excited for all the stuff you're going to get done, just a really great feeling. Of course (as evidenced by these videos) I still have some serious baby lbs to loose, which is happening but much too slowly so I'm kicking my program into gear. Justin got me a Wii fit plus, which I've totally been wanting and was so stoked about, but it was kind of rude to me. When I went through the initial set up it first said in it's little mousy voice "you're overweight" - which wasn't that bad, I was expecting that, but then my little Mii person expanded and got all chubbed out and frowny- so rude! Than there was this strange balance test that told me my Wii age was 45 - RUUUUDE! A few days later I did the test again and my age went to 20 so I'm questioning the accuracy on that one, but enjoying all the fun activities and games on it and I think it will really help me reach my goals. Other than that we've had a really fun 2010 so far, the year is off to a super rad start and I'm looking forward to every day because it's such an amazing gift to watch this gorgeous angel baby discover new things and grown into a more incredible person every minute - she's truly a joy! We can't wait for visitors - Rand and Joyce started the year off right with a super fun New Years Eve and New Years Day in So.Cal and I'm sure they will attest that it's a really fun place to visit, so COME SEE US!! Tim is coming this weekend and I would guess he'll give an endorsement as well. Love to all of you!!
