This is on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. Which was our last of five ports.
We visited St. Kitts, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Barbados and the St. Lucia
Barados had the most gorgeous beach we have ever been on and the snorkeling
was amazing. Here in St. Lucia we went zip lining through the rain forest which I
thought was fantastic. Although, no big surprise to any of you, my favorite part
of the whole trip was laying on the beach!! Corby and I had so much fun
together. I will get an album together and send a link out soon. I am sure by the
next time I post something my tan will have faded, but maybe we will be closer to spring.

My cute husband and I were also lucky enough to take a trip together. We flew to New York for one very awesome night before flying to Santo Domingo to start a Southern Caribbean Cruise. NYC was amazing. I have only been there as a child and Corby had never been. We only had about 8 hours, but we packed it all in. We rode the subway, both for the first time. Saw the World Trade Center site, Times Square, Rockerfeller Center, Broadway, you name it, our feet took us there. It was amazing!! With only two hours of sleep we headed to the airport to fly to Santo Domingo for the warm part of our trip!!

At the first of the year I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas with some of my best
girlfriends for a much deserved weekend getaway. We shopped, ate and shopped some
more. And of course on the way home, got caught in the worst snow storm EVER!!! I was
nominated to drive of course. AAAHHH!!!

Merry Christmas!! We had a wonderful Christmas. We were able to have a great time with a lot of our friends at a first to be annual party. We had the entire Draney family over to our house for a Christmas party. Which was great since about half now live out of the state. And all of my family came home for Christmas and we celebrated Christmas Eve together as we always do. This year was especially wonderful because my mother should have been in the hospital recovering from a kidney transplant. But thanks to many, many prayers her health improved enough to postpone the surgery until sometime in the spring. Yeah!! Merry Christmas to her!!

And then there is Damon, he loves to be outside.
Everytime he wakes up and it is snowing he tells
me all day long, "mommy, it is snowing" in the
cutest little voice. He is so much fun.

As soon as there was enough snow Jaxon was out on his snowboard. He is quite good too. He has been harassing me since he found out Grandma Jill had all of our old skis and now wants to learn to ski.

Colbi lost her first tooth and she was so stinking excited. She is one of the very last of the kids her
age and she thought she would never have a loose tooth. About a week later she lost the one
right next to it.
