Finally getting around to Holiday and cruise pictures. But first some of Kaia who already likes the idea of "new clothes" too much. It's innate I tell you. Whenever I get her something and show it to her, she does a high pitched squeal and wants to put it on right then. Here she is in her playing around in her new tankini for the summer, even though it's the dead of winter...


I was worried that it wouldn't cover her big belly, but it does, until she does this..

Thanksgiving
We had Thanksgiving in Arizona this year, which is always so fun. Did the usual, big family feast, football in the backyard, shopped the rest of the weekend. My dad took Cade on a hunting trip. It was his first time camping, so I told my dad to take pictures and sent him with my camera. These were what I got...


Thanks for trying dad.

Kind of a weak run through of the trip but it was a blast! The food was soooo good, we ate like crazy. We laid out, worked out, swam, ran, rock climbed, read, played games, played in a game show, danced, sight saw, shopped, sand surfed, ate, saw shows, watched movies, drove throught the jungle, slid down waterfalls... I loved every minute of it and highly reccomend a cruise with a fun group. Thanks to Rob's parents for an awesome Christmas present.
