Christmas is A Time for Sharing

Kelly and Edward are so serious...











Kelly and Mommy...notice how Kelly couldn't resist holding Eddie's hand...












Wow, Edward is really tall

Just a little Christmas Kiss

How about this when you get to work?

I usually don't talk much about the interests of my parents; because honestly, you are all interested in just me, right?

I couldn't help but post this about my mommy. My mommy is madly in love with a little book series titled Twilight...have you heard of it?

Well, anyone who really knows my mommy knows that she has read the entire series multiple times and actually took a vacation day from work to see the first movie in the series titled Twilight when it came out in November. She has since seen the movie three times. She and her girlfriends like Julie and Kelly have followed the production of the movie and the actors staring in it, especially a guy named Rob Pattinson who plays Edward, the main guy from Twilight. Apparently all women are dazzled by him.

Well, in true Christmas spirit a package arrived on our doorstep a little over a week ago. it was an odd shaped package and sort of got pushed to the side for a couple of days due to larger packages rolling in. Finally one night while my mommy was rummaging around the house my daddy opened the package and low and behold it was a life-sized cardboard cutout of Edward!

Who would have sent my mommy such a fitting and funny gift you may ask....Ben and Brittan Barnholdt.

Ben is who told my daddy to first buy Twilight for my mommy...he thought she would like it...my daddy did...and my mommy loved it...the rest as they say is history!

The first night in our house was a rough one for poor Edward. I cried when I met him in the hallway heading to the potty and Munchkin and Wylie were on high alert growling at him. Then I told my mommy he was yuck, right in front of him, and asked why his skin was gray. Then I decided all that was left to do was give him a good Karate chop to the midsection and knock him down.

My mommy decided that Edward was for sharing with her good friends so he left our house to go on a promotional tour. He has made stops to visit Julie at the RSCVA, and to mommy's work at the Nevada State Health Division. First he stopped to say hi to Kelly, a true Twilight fan, and then a guy by the name of Jim and then Christine. Mommy has tried to take pictures along the way of everyone meeting Edward from Twilight. It is very exciting!

Finally, yesterday afternoon after a whirlwind of activity Edward found a home in my mommy's cubicle at work. He is standing tall for all to see. People my mommy has worked with for years, but has never really met are coming into her cubicle just to see Edward. Guys she works with are comparing themselves to Edward and seeing how they measure in height to such a dazzling guy!

Thanks to Ben and Brittan for such a great gift that has been making people laugh and smile for over a week and thanks to my mommy for sharing it!!!!
