I can't believe I left my baby for 6 days! Bradley and I joined two couple friends for our annual New Year's Eve trip. You know how we are about tradition and since we have gone somewhere the past four years, we couldn't let a baby keep us at home. BUT I had no idea how hard it was! The night before we left I cried and cried! I was ready for a few nights away but six was a little too many for the first time. Beckett was in good hands though with both sets of grandparents. All in all, we ended up having a great time and are thankful that we went.

Beckett's first Christmas was a very busy one! We spent the weekend before Christmas with Bradley's family. It is so much fun having two babies so close to the same age. We took them to the Capital and let them admire all the beautiful lights. On Monday, Beckett and I went to Hot Springs and hung out with my family. We made Christmas goodies, shopped, and played lots of games. Beckett was very entertained with watching everyone, especially my nephews. On Christmas Eve we went back to Little Rock and went to Granny's church and celebrated with Bradley's family. Then we spent the night at our house and got up early to head back to Bebe and Pop's for Christmas breakfast and the opening of presents. (I bet this is the last year we have to wake him up on Christmas morning!) On the road again...Christmas afternoon we headed to Hot Springs and had Christmas dinner with my family. Santa brought Aidan and Ethan a Wii so the next few days were filled with Mario Cart and a new card game Joanna taught. Christmas 2008 was a blast and having a baby to share things with makes everything so much more special!
