Christmas 2007

Christmas was a great day for us this year! Both kids had a blast. We learned that tutus can be used around your waist or on your head as a hat. We also learned that a box of packing popcorn is a terrific toy. We hope you all had a great day as well!

Cruise!

We took a cruise with both our families to celebrate our parents' 40th anniversaries (Hyden's August 10 and Holt's coming on Jan 20). We left from Tampa on Carnival Inspiration on Dec 8 and returned on the 13th. There were two sea days and two port days. We went to Grand Cayman and Calica (near Cozumel). It was a lot of fun. Matthew loved all the Camp Carnival activities and Libby just loved all the attention.

Here we are riding the tender to snorkeling on Grand Cayman. No pictures of us snorkeling yet-they weren't on digital cameras.

Here we are taking Mom and the kids over on the tender boat. Happy birthday Mom.
















Ron and Phyllis took a tour of the island. Here's Ron in Hell.





The day we went to Calica, Ron, Phyllis, Mike, and Dad took a tour of the Mayan ruins at Tulum.
