Shopping, Trees and Part 2

My First question is….. Where the heck did November go?????? Seriously. Don’t blink…….. Time just goes so fast. It makes it hard to SAVOR EVERY MOMENT….. when it is flying by. But every moment is a gift.

The “R’s” came for a short visit. Met them at Market Street so Jerry could “pay Joyce’s bet that he lost” :} Was so good.

Saturday we met Cole, Stacy and Derek for dinner and went to the Festival of Trees. One of my favorite traditions is to go the the Trees in Idaho Falls. So we decided we had better try it. It was HUGE! So many TREES. So many PEOPLE!

Cruise     Part 2

Our first stop was to Cozumel.  We just got off the boat and shopped.  But First…….This day was a special day….My parents 53 wedding anniversary. We had flowers sent to their room!

I love cruises because you can get pics taken at any time. I loved getting family pictures taken that I will cherish forever!

I am having SOooo much fun reading your posts. Your family is such a HOOT!! What a fun cruise you guys did. Can't wait to go on one too someday. You'll have to give me some tips on some do's and don'ts on a cruise. I am sure you already have a list. ; D

P.S. The festival of trees?!!!! Oh my stars. I can't wait to see that someday. My sister has talked about it for years. And.....get this.......I just found out THIS year that my friend Heather is ON the committee and has been for the past two years. Who knew?? Check out her report on the behind the scenes of them setting that all up this past month.
