Paradise Vacation

Vacation week always seems to go so quickly. This means two things; I always try to get as many pictures of it as possible ( Somewhere to go when you need to visualize a happy place), and learn to try new things! After all, you are on vacation, when else would you do it?

The Western Caribbean is an amazingly beautiful cruise. The weather is amazing, the views are spetacular, and having good company makes all the difference for great memories. Thanks to Dr. Nord we had an incredible vacation and got to make plenty of new memories and have lots of laughs with some wonderful people I work with. One or many inside jokes are now part of our daily routine. It is also nice to see all of our husbands bond, they are all quite entertaining together.

Our ports included: Cozumel, Grand Caymon, Roatan, and Costa Mya. We also had a little time on the day we got on the ship and the day we got off. Visiting FL was really fun. It made it hard to come home to the snowy weather. You might aldo notice a picture of our accident in Roatan in the pictures below. We are all currently recovering well from this accident. Thanks for your thoughts!

Makayla's 5th

We had Makayla's 5th Birthday party today. We went to a placee called Image Works. It's always hard to have it on her birthday since most places are closed, so we keep the party going all week and wrap it up with a party that can only be described as for Princess Makayla. Makayla decided to be completely involved in this years planning! She is getting so big! We heard about this Salon party from a friend and it turned out to be so much fun! We had 9 little girls and Nadalynn too. She patiently watched all the girls get their hair, makeup, and nails done while she sat in a big chair swinging her legs and eating french fries. The 9 girls were so good for the salon gals. They loved all the attention and primping. When they were finished, we had a Hollywood photo shoot, cupcakes, and opened presents. They continued the party at home all day by playing Barbies, dancing to grandpa Andy's singing, making bracelets, and doing sparklers in the driveway in the peaceful snowfall at dark. Thanks to my hubby, I survived the day with two happy little girls, one of which is still up watching movies with a friend! Oh to have her energy again. My little fireball!

December to Remember

Welcome January;

December we had a great time. The parties, the joy, and the peaceful snowfall. The wonderful time off with Cody and the girls, priceless. Spending time with our families and dear friends. Time together with my work and Cody's work.

We are so thankful to have our friends and family in our lives, and to have such great people to work with. These are just a few of the many pictures that capture our hearts and happiness in this season...
