We spent plenty of time by the pool lounging, but our ship was awesome and also had an ice skating rink, mini golf, roller blading, and our favorite....shuffleboard. Until the cruise I always thought it was just for old fogies.....well Rick is 30....but it was really fun, and Kim and I tore it up, sorry boys!
Our other favorite thing to do at night after dinner in between the shows and dancing til late was play games (Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan). One night we setup shop in the pizza place in our formal attire....and another night we hungout in our jammies. 
This night (below) was the midnight buffet and we had been playing games in our jammies and headed up to have a snack....there ended up being this dance party by the pool where everyone was totally decked out for clubbing (see lady to my left) except for us. We worked it in our jammies and had a blast! The best part was that the next night there actually was a pajama party at the dance club, so naturally we showed up again in our jammies (the same jammies to be exact...)to find we were the only ones again.... it was kind of embarassing, but we got over it and had a great time. 
Kimberly hurt her hand right before we left and had a brace on on the cruise, which didnt stop her from beating all of us in mini golf and shuffleboard, she's a trooper:)
Our only port of call was Cozumel, Mexico, and we spent the whole day there doing all kinds of fun stuff! Luckily, Chris speaks awesome Spanish and was able to get the downlow into where we could go for authentic Mexican food. Seriously, this was as authentic as you get, there were like animal carcasses hanging all over.......the old Allison would've never been able to handle it:) The food was amazing though, and luckily none of us got sick (we didn't drink the water).
The cab driver also told us where to go for snorkeling, and it was sooo fun! I'm a big wuss and was nervous about it, but luckily the gang was very understanding and it turned out great. One of my best memories from this cruise was me and Kimberly trying to get out of the water with our flippers on to take a picture....the rocks were really slippery.....seriously! We laughed sooo hard!
Happy Birthday to Rick!
We missed our kids of course, but this was the perfect way to celebrate Rick's big birthday! We wish you could've all been there with us to celebrate!
We had Christmas eve with my dad's brother and sister and their families that live in Boise. It is fun to have family nearby when we visit them!
Our kids of course wokeup at least two hours before the rest of the family was ready to wakeup and open presents. It was all we could do to hold them off!!!
Carson got a new garbage truck from Grandma and Grandpa....he was sooo excited!
The kids dancing in their jammies... they played soo good together.
More matching outfits...
They got these new adorable chairs from Pottery Barn Kids for lounging. Since we got new couches recently, they have pretty much been banned from eating snacks anywhere around them, so these have come in handly.
Carson got a toolbelt from The Freels which he loved too! These guys are soo spoiled!
