The Busiest Time of Year

We have been quite busy the last month and a half and thought I would get around to finally telling everyone why. First off, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Wes’ family this year. It was so nice to spend time together.

The day after Thanksgiving Wes and I went on a cruise for our 5 year anniversary. Thanks to Jeanette, Ana, Megan, Mitch, Gail, Robyn, Scotty and Brad for all watching Macy throughout the time we were away.

We had so much fun!! I highly recommend going to any one who is considering it. We stopped in Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman, Roatan, Honduras; and Princess Cays, Bahamas. We swam with stingrays and snorkeled in the Grand Cayman, Snorkeled in Honduras and saw a ship wreck and beautiful fish, explored the city of Cozumel and enjoyed the privacy of the Princess Cays. It was so nice to spend time with just my amazing husband and relax in the sun. I am so grateful for him in my life and I do not know where I would be without him and his influence in my life.

Before we left the for the cruise, we were able to go to a Miami Heat basketball game. Wes was in heaven and we were treated so well. We were seated on the 8th row, so close you could see them sweat. It was a fun to watch them play especially since we like Dwayne Wade so much.

Before we boarded the cruise ship we had time to spare before we had to return our rental car so we went to Fort Lauderdale beach. We even witnessed a marriage being performed on the beach.

After the cruise we jumped right into the hustle and bustle of Christmas. We had a fun ward party where Macy was not at all interested in Santa. She wanted to see him, wave to him and talk to him but would not go near him. We also had a fun party with my mother in-law’s extended family where again Macy wanted nothing to do with Santa until he gave her a present.

My family came over the Sunday before Christmas and we all made gingerbread houses. It was so fun!! We defintely learned alot about building them and will be more prepared next year. Thanks guys for coming and creating memories with us.

I have not uploaded the pictures from Christmas yet so those will come in the next post.

We are so grateful for this time of year and the opportunity it gives us to reflect on the life of Christ and all he has done for us. We are so blessed with amazing family and friends. May the Lord bless you this coming year.
