Catching up is obviously not happening. So here's what we've been up to...the short version.
We had (from Tessie's point of view) a sort of lame Thanksgiving, a merry Christmas and a happy New Year's Eve.
I don't think we've had a year yet when this hasn't happened with one of our kids.
Luckily they get over it and are excited to welcome Santa into our home with milk and cookies. (what a waste - since mom and dad were off sweets)
The kids had a good time opening up and assembling presents.
see! Happy:)
******************************************
We did get to go to Mexico for a week and had a good relaxing time.
This is were we stayed in Cancun - nice pools right?
unfortunately this is what the weather was like the whole time plus a bunch of rain. Needless to say, we never actually got in any of these beautiful pools. This picture was taken just before we left for the airport to come home and this was some of the nicest weather we saw there.
But we did go on a 'Book of Mormon' Tour of Chicha Niza - An ancient Mayan city
It kind of looks like this guy (our tour guide) is going to flip off someone but really this is just how he pointed at things.
And Lenny and I each got one of these to drink - so it wasn't all disappointing.
Anyways...it was nice to get away but it's even nicer to get back home to these cute kiddies.

It's about time...just kidding!
I think Matt and I are probably going to head to Cancun instead of the cruise (we'll save that until this fall with you guys):) so I need some tips on where to stay/what to do. Hopefully we get a little better weather. Do you have my email?
Finally an update from they Gray's!!! Always good to see an update and pictures from all your adventures.
your family is too cute! glad you finally updated. love you guys
you have such a cute family... and you do fun things too.
So fun! Your kids are adorable. I'm glad that you guys had a nice relaxing time, it's too bad the weather wasn't as nice!
Nice work Tessie! Nice to see you guys updated. Sad you didnt get to take a dip in each pool though, but I am sure those funny drinks made you forget all of your problems...haha just kidding! :)I would miss your kids too!
