Couples Mexico Trip

In December, we went to El Dorado Casitas Royale in Riveria Maya, Mexico.  It was perfect. This was our third time at this resort.  We went on our honeymoon and again in 2013.  This was our first time going in the Winter.  It was nice bc it wasn't blazing hot and humid, but the water was a bit chilly and the sun wasn't as strong.... which probably isn't a bad thing! lol.  The temps stayed in upper 70s, low 80s.

We have gone with the same two couples on every trip. The Gills and the Lyles.  It's great to go with them bc it is they are all so chill.  We kind of do our own things in the morning then meet up at the pool around 11!

This was our first trip together in Cancun! We had five kids total.

2018: 11 kids!!

The resort we stayed at! Love this place!

My love!

Our room is that upper right corner.

The swim up pool bar we stayed at almost the entire time!

We are already talking about when and where we are going on the next trip! We love El Dorado, but think it may be time to explore other places!

Christmas.. a little late!

I figured now was better than never to post out Christmas 2018!
We went to Nanny and Poppy's on the 23rd and made it our Christmas Eve dinner and presents.  Claire got a cool backpack that carries her doll and accessories, Max got Nerf guns, and Kate got a new purse with "makeup".  All big hits! I took lots of pics but this is the only one I could find! Cousin Landyn opening her gift from us!

Claire, Kate and I also got our nails done.  This was a tradition I started when Claire was almost Two.  We got get Christmas nails done together!

Christmas Eve we came home, did our second annual apps and drinks with neighbors, then got ready for Santa!

 We came home, read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, then waited for Santa!

Claire's favorite and bigger presents were an Our Generation doll school set, and echo dot for her room.  Kate got this ice cream food cart and some fun costume jewelry and Max got sports things and  a Nintendo Switch from Us.  He was so excited!

Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Darcy came mid morning and we opened more presents!  All three kids got new bikes!!

The biggest surprise was Justin upgraded my engagement ring and wedding band!

We are a very blessed family!
