Christmas & Cruising

I know it's been FOREVER since I've posted anything! So much has happened in the last few months.... Thanksgiving... Kam got her tonsils out... Christmas & New Years! Anyways we have been busy busy busy... but there are some things I cannot miss posting! 

The day after Christmas we went on a cruise for our anniversary! I figured it was the perfect time while the kids were out of school to go (even though our anniversary isn't for a few more days). We flew to Miami the day after Christmas and spent the night there - then headed to the port to ship out! Jake was very skeptical about cruises but he loved every minute of it and wants to go again (but next time we'll take the kids! We missed them way too much!) We went to Jamaica & the Grand Cayman Island. It was fantastic leaving 2 feet of snow and 0 degree weather to be somewhere tropical and warm! We took a tour of Jamaica with a very fun tour guide whose only wish in life is to take his kids to Disneyland! Afterwards we ended up on a beach enjoying the sun - very relaxing and fun.

On the Grand Cayman Island we went swimming with the dolphins which was so much fun! The dolphins gave us kisses, shook our hands, flipped onto their backs and gave us belly rides, and pushed us on boogie boards by our feet across the water. This was definitely something I recommend to everyone and I can't wait to take my kids to do it too! After we were done swimming with the dolphins we ended up on 7 mile beach for a couple of hours - it was the most gorgeous beach I've been on! While it was a little crowded it was well worth it... warm water, soft sand and gorgeous views!

These pictures are so jumbled it's ridiculous - but I have mixed in pictures of the kids' Christmas as well! Addi got a Keyboard, Blu Ray Player, Nerf Bow & Arrow, Clothes, a new Art Kit, Frozen Barbies & a Sewing Machine.

Kambri got a Kitchen, TV, Blu Ray Player, Art Kit, Frozen Barbies, Frozen Ice Castle, Beados, a Talking Giraffe & clothes.

Aria got a Slide/Ball Pit, Princess Tent, Rocking Horse, Frozen Doll, clothes and a Picnic Basket.

I got a new Kindle Fire, concealed purse & a new coat & Jake got a new scabbard, slippers & a suit! We were definitely spoiled and are so blessed :) I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday - we sure did!
