Mexican Christmas

Late afternoon Christmas day, after Santa and after presents, we flew down to Texas and met up with all 19 of my in laws. The next morning we set sail for Mexico...

A cruise was the perfect solution, there was something for everyone on board. For my father in law, it was the casino. For my kids...
water slides...
For me, shopping in the mall...
and fabulous dinners with the kids...
We got off the boat and spent some time exploring Mexico...





Spent some time on the beach...



Saw lots of amazing animals like a starfish...
a sand crab...
and dolphins...

Our last night on the boat was new Year's Eve...
We ended our trip with a fabulous steak dinner and dancing until 2 am...I couldn't think of a better way to begin 2012!
