Caribbean Vacation 2009







My whole family went to the Caribbean the first week of the new year. Such a good time with my parents, Paul, Shana and the boys. Grace was such a good traveler. She's so easy going. We wnt to some place we've all been to before, but we also went to Belize and Honduras for the first time. Have to say we all voted that Honduras was the best place. Archie and I went Parasailing, which was a blast until we were dumped. I told the captain to not dump us. I had a fear that a rope would be wrapped around my neck and then when I came back up I would hang myself. Not sure if that could really happen, but I thought it could. The winch broke and they had to let us float down to swim back to the boat. I was a little freaked out, but Archie thought it was great. Hope to go on another trip in a couple more years. Would like to see the Eastern side of the Caribbean next time. The trip made for some great scrapbooking pages.

Christmas 2008







Hello there



Well, I thought I would have a lot of free time over the Christmas break to get a lot of personal scrapbooking finished- that didn't happen. Busy with Scrapbooking events, which I LOVE.
Christmas was great. Gracie got a visit from Santa. He brough a new Sleeping Beauty bike in a put it under the tree. She shouted, "Hey Santa thanks for coming" When he left, she ran over to see what he brought. "My Christmas wish came true!!", she said. What a funny, cute little girl we have.The adults decided not to exchange gifts this year, we are all leaving for vacation on January 1st. I know this post is a little late.
