One of the few things Madeline asked for the Christmas was a Purple Tinkerbell Sleeping Bell. She was very specific - imagine that from my daughter. So you can imagine how excited and THANKFUL I was went I ACTUALLY found a purple sleeping bag with Tinkerbell on it.
We used to always open one present on Christmas Eve growing up so she got to open this up after church that night at my parent's house. Christmas is so much better once you have kids.

Viva Mexico!
4 am Breakfast at the Columbus airport.
The beach, finally! The water and everything as far we could see was beautiful. The pictures on the resort's website just did not do this place.
Why does my left food look swollen? Yikes!
This is right outside our room. Pool, 20 yards. Ocean, 50 yards. Ahhhhhh.
The Rehearsal Dinner was on this huge boat the Merlings rented. Madeline ran around with her cousins and Jon went snorkling. I got in the ocean with Madeline for about 5 minutes until I panicked being in the open ocean with my dear sweet baby. The thoughts of the "unknown" underneath us seriously freaked me out. I tried, but that is all I could last. It was beautiful but I'd rather be on the boat where I belong :)
Jon left early for the wedding since he was a groomsman, but Madeline and I primped and got ready after a morning swimming with the dolphins - that's right! I'll post those pics in another post.
Madeline and the other little kids LOVED the dance floor. It was all lit up and right on the sand, just so beautiful.
