Christmas in Jamaica

Happy New Year everyone! It's a little surreal to thin that this was Mia and Ben's second Christmas, and that they will be two this year! Yes, I know it's been four months since my last post, but honestly, although things are getting easier as they get older, I feel as though my life is getting busier and busier each day. I have started countless posts which will probably never be finished. Inevitably something grand happens, and I end up doing a massive picture post (as I'm about to do!), and all those posts that actually have some substance to them get left in the dust...

So this year for Christmas, my mom's gift to us was a trip to Jamaica for ten days! I was born and raised in Jamaica until I was 19 and left for college. My hubby (then boyfriend) went back with me once in 2001 when we were in college, and I've only been back once since then! It was a bit surreal to be there with MY KIDS this time! Brace yourselves- here comes the picture overload!

Ben was so tired after a full day of flying he fell asleep about 5 minutes into dinner the first night!

They loved playing in the sand..

The water was so warm

And SO shallow! Perfect for toddlers!

 All dressed up for dinner

They loved all the huge Christmas trees all over the resort... and the fact that they were actually allowed to touch them :)

Taking in the view

Typically these two will not sleep anywhere but their cribs, but I somehow managed to get lucky and get ONE precious seaside nap with Mia!

Can't get over how grown up they're looking! Where did my little babies go?

At the airport heading home...

"Um..mommy...where's the beach gone?

 

Hope you all had a fantastic holiday season!
