:Christmas:

Christmas this year was more on the less-traditional side of things.  The week of Christmas we were in tropical paradise!  Namely Cozumel, Mexico - Costa Rica - Panama.  The Cutler folks treated us to a fantastic week of cruisin' on the M.S. Carnival Freedom!  Though they couldn't enjoy more than a few days with us, we are so grateful to them for providing a wonderful week for us all.  I will post about our cruise soon.  For now, here is an overview of our Christmas here in the states.  

We spent a few days in Utah before we flew out to Florida to hop on board the ship.  It was so nice to see my family again!  We had a Christmas program (Jaden wore the manger animal costumes), ate a delicious Christmas feast, opened presents, went to see my nephew's preschool program, and ended the trip with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert featuring David Archuleta (a.maz.ing)!

Unfortunately we lost a bunch of our photos while transferring them to our external hard drive.  I was only able to salvage some videos and pics from Cody's phone.

After our fun times in the Caribbean, we celebrated a more traditional Christmas at home.  It was so, so fun!  Cody and I stuffed each other's stockings and stayed up late being Santa for our first time (last year we were at my parents house for Jaden's 1st Christmas).  It is a long-lived Moon tradition to do stocking hunts each year.  So we hid each other's stockings and set up clues for each other and Jaden.  We loved it; Jaden loved it; definite success:)

A belated Merry Christmas to everyone!
