Preschoolers Light Oxford Tree

Carson's class was picked to light the tree in Oxford's Centennial Park today! They all handmade ornaments to hang on the tree and then it was lit up! We all sang Christmas carols and ran around in the snow.
Connor freezing his butt off!!
After the tree we walked across the parking lot to STARBUCKS for a Christmas story and some hot chocolate! (Yep, I said Starbucks)
This is Carson's best friend Charlotte. He never leaves her side at school functions. Doesn't it look like they are on a date with their Hot coco!!!! LOL!!

Indoors!!!

The snow is here and so we are finding things to do inside. So far we have had lots of air hockey, bounce house, tag, playdough, coloring, and (my favorite) eating popcorn and sitting in laundry baskets watching movies!!! We may need some ideas soon...I think we are going to try sleading this weekend (blog coming soon)!! Love you all!!!

More Vacation Pictures


I loved the dolphins. There were two in the pool with us (one boy and one girl). One of them had a major attitude (guess which one...we called her "the bitch") She bit a foreigner (which I am not opposed to) and then took her tail and beat the woman over the head...however I knew to stay away from this one because I watched the previous group swim. It was so funny to hear the woman scream "Bite me!! Bite me!!!" The staff there claims she touched the blow hole...(for all you men out there that is a big no-no for a woman!!!LOL!!) I got to hold the fins and let the dolphin swim me across the pool. They even take a picture of the dolphins kissing you!!!


Ok while you are laying on the beach drinking yourself silly a man with a microphone hounds you to get up and do the dance lesson!!! It is so funny because he makes fun of you in broken Spanglish (Spanish-English). I love this picture though because the whole thing reminded me of Dirty Dancing when they arrive at the resort and everyone is lined up learning a dance (one and two and three...now imagine it in Spanglish!!!)

I don't have any pictures of para sailing because I was afraid to take my nice camera on the tiny boat they took us on...but here is the story anyway...Just me and my mother-in-law Toni went. We left the beach with one man (who spoke no English) in a boat the size of a paddle boat. He had no life jackets for us and a rope to hang onto. I was nervous and well Toni was screaming at every wave we jumped with our butts leaving the seats...We arrived at a larger boat with three men this time (again very little English). They were drinking some brown liquor out of a water bottle. The driver must have liked me because he kept saying "me like-a your eyes" to me while making that face ( you know the face ladies...the naughty one!) Life jackets and harness on we were up in the air. The reefs were amazing to see from up there!!!
