"Thanksmas" Cruise

We spent Thanksgiving with the Wulff family this year and they really know how to celebrate the holidays! First of all, we combined Christmas with Thanksgiving and dubbed it "Thanksmas." Second, we selected a location that was beautiful and tropical, the Southern Caribbean. Third, we brought together Wulffs from around the globe. Then we put it all together on a cruise with lots of good food and drink. We had a FABULOUS time! Here are a few pictures from the trip...Bex and Grandma sharing a good laugh.
Bex in paradise (Half Moon Cay) with grandma and grandpa.

One of the cool towel sculptures they put in our room each night.

A bunch of Wulffs....and a couple of Crutchfields in Martinique.

Bex meets Uncle Jerry (or Grunkle, in his words) for the first time. Looks like they are easy friends.
Uncle Matt and B. Chillin.

We saw turtles on Barbados...lots of them. BTY I have wanted to go to Barbados since I was about 13 years old. Someone showed me a picture of a beach with a palm tree and told me it was Barbados. I decided then and there that I was going to move to Barbados!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Daddy is soooooooooooooo funny!

Here we are on Martinique. I got this stroller for the trip and I LOVE it! CityMini

Beckett was a hit with the 9 year old girls!

Building Buddies

There were two babies that were born within two weeks of Beckett and the three of them have become good buddies. We met their parents while we were all still expecting. Two of us had the same due date and were both expecting boys. The little girl was due a couple of weeks earlier. This is Sweet E. She has been a quick learner and was standing well before either of the boys. She loves to be with her mom and watch the boys from a safe distance.
This is C-Dude with Beckett. He was the first to crawl and is super speedy! He was born the same day as Sweet E, even though his due date was the same as Beckett's. I was VERY envious when his mom was holding her sweet baby in her arms and I was still sooooooo pregnant!
We get together with the babies every week or so and go to the building's Play Room. there are lots of fun things to crawl on (and in) there. Bex is having a super time with his building buddies!

Sharky Haloween

Beckett was a shark for Halloween this year. He looked super cute in his ocean blue costume. We had a little party in our building. I was surprised to meet about 12 babies that are within a year of Bex. Seems that everyone here is in the same phase of life that we are. Condo. Dog. Baby. We started a play group on Fridays. Suddenly Bex has lots of little buddies around. :)
