Cancun, Mexico

Since we're such amazing planners, we threw together a last minute getaway to Mexico two weeks before our 12th wedding anniversary.  Luckily for me, I was able to remedy my expired passport with a not-so-quick trip to the Denver Agency and we were ready for a relaxing weekend together.  Dave and I didn't do a whole lot, but it was an amazing 5 days together in Paradise.  One of my best decisions, after marrying this fella.  

We also managed to find the perfect babysitter for the girls.  Dave's dental assistant was phenomenal and some of the highlights were fake nails, Black Friday shopping, preparing Thanksgiving with Megan's mom, eating dinner with Megan's extended family, playing with their dogs, watching the Grinch at the theater, visiting the Children's Village on a beautiful day, scavenger hunt at the Wyoming Museum, trip to the library, non-cereal breakfasts, and making an awesome 'Welcome Home' sign.  I was hoping that the girls would have fun and feel loved and they did so much more than that.  So, basically the perfect weekend for everyone.  

Family Pictures

This year 's family pictures were pretty easy with low expectations and outfits from our existing clothes.  It wasn't too surprising when Indie fell asleep on the way and woke up like a grouchy little bear, but the older girls had so much fun joking around and Indie warmed up a bit to the photographer's watch.  All in all, it was a fun hour in a beautiful setting.  Even though this season feels a bit crazy, I sure love these people and I'm glad we were able to capture this time together.
