The New Years/Anniversary/Christmas Cruise to Mexico!

Handed down to my mother (Abuella) was two mink stoles. Since mink isn't worn anymore, and she is always looking for ways to carry on the love from past generations to the next one, she had them made into teddy bears for her granddaughters. Sophia and Jennie both have one to cherish originally from Grammy Nelson, and Mrs. "D". Abuella also loves her grandsons!


Andy helped me with my kids the whole time, at meals, at sea, on the stairs, everywhere. Thank You Andy, you're a great uncle. Here's one of Sophias new favorite people on earth! She and Arianna hit it off! Thank goodness for family!


This incredible Pacific beach was refreshing, warm, salty, clear, and just perfect, can I say perfect again. Perfect.


Doug and I, but mostly Ocean, aahhhh, the Pacific Ocean! Dalton and Abby seemed inseparable on this trip. Hannah and Abraham were nearby most of the time too.


The cousins all buried Joseph. Aunt Yvonne buried Sophia. This sand was the perfect escape from the warm December sun of Cabo.




Jennie loved the perfectly granular nature of this Mexican sand. I loved the girls new Mexican sundresses!


The streets of Cabo,(the drummer is seriously no more than 6 years old). Doug and I with Cabo in back.


Carnival towel art. We loved all of their creations!


Um...is there an appropriate title for this one? The Crawfords in Ensanada. That's our ship in the background!


Thank you Mama and Papa for planning, sharing, giving, and loving all for us. This trip was beyond generous! We felt your love every moment! We made memories, fell in love with Mexico, and you raised the bar for my student poor kididdles! Thank you. Thank you! Thank YOU!
