Christmas

We enjoyed a triple-shot of Christmas in Phoenixville, Hagerstown, and Richmond this year. After doing our Christmas at home we went to see my family. We even got to see my Aunt Marie, but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of her

My grandfather, Bob, and Kade really enjoy each others company...


One of Kade's favorite gifts was a dancing Spider Man...


The RC helicopters were a big hit with Leif and Logan...


The day after Christmas we went to the Gammino's new house. It's always great to see all the cousins together...




The Parkers ended up with both of Beth and I's gift exchange gifts...






Before heading home we took a walk through Maymount Park with Dom and Tilly...

Jamaica

We celebrated our 10th anniversary by taking a vacation to Negril, Jamaica. The resort was excellent...

the sunsets were amazing...

The 'booze cruise' was a lot of fun...

after partying with Rasta Ralphie for awhile...

we jumped off the cliffs at Pirates Cave...

We also took a horseback ride up in the mountains, on the beach, and in the ocean...

We had a beautiful and romantic, yet ultra-casual, vow renewal on the beach on the day of our 10th anniversary...

We even met some fellow Mountaineers who were celebrating their honeymoon, Erin and Jay. They celebrated with us after the ceremony and helped us eat the cake...

Thanks for watching the boys Mom!!!! We never would have been able to take the trip without your help.
