Pippi

I can't express how much I adore this little girl! She is so kind, thoughtful, and friendly! I love having my little buddy by my side everyday!

Maw family party

Every year we get together with my moms cousins (grandma payne's late sisters' kids and their families) for a really great Christmas party! We have gifts for the kids and a gift exchange for the adults. We love spending time with these cousins! Piper loved the party, but climbed into a cousins lap and fell dead asleep!

Atlantis/Bahamas!

We spent the last day of our cruise at the Atlantis Resort! We had the best time swimming, going down water slides, and looking at the aquariums! Beck especially lived looking at the open water shark tanks! As we were leaving and trying to hail a cab, a driver came and put us in a limo instead! The kids freaked out! So much fun, even if it was for a short ride! Of course Pip fell asleep just like she did during any car side longer than 2 minutes... Fun day!!!

Formal dinner

Thursday night we went to a more formal dining room on the ship. Grammy and the rest of the gang were at a show, so it was just the 5 of us. Pippi was so dang cute when she leaned over to Matt and asked him to dance! So darling to see my guy and my baby girl on the dance floor!

St Maarten; day 4

Beautiful day at St Maarten! A little rain in the morning so we took a 3 tour hour around the island. Best moment of the day was when our driver dropped us off at a completely nude beach. Try talking to your kids about that! Hilarious! We shopped and beached most of the day. Later on the ship was a Dora and Diego meet and greet for the kids. Londy was noticeably absent from the activity; she was throwing a fit in our room. All in all a great day!!!

St Thomas

We spent day 5(I think?) on the beautiful island if St Thomas! Perfect weather! We spent the day at Sapphire beach. The highlight for the kids was Matt finding a big shell while snorkeling. Little did we know but it was occupied by the kids' new best friend! Beck named the crab The President of the United States of America. Short and sweet. The kids played with the Pres all day long! Matt snorkeled right above a giant stingray and millions of other fish. Such a fun day !!!

Day at sea!

Days at sea were fun filled and crazy! We played a ton at the ships water park and the kids loved the kids club. There were tons of Nickelodeon activities to do too.
Never a dull moment! Pippi especially loved the Dora's Dance Party! She and her little friend, Brooklyn, had a great time dancing with Dora! We did arts and crafts; making journals and tote bags. Super fun!
