Finally!

We know, that's what you are saying right now, "Finally they are updating their blog!" We took a bit of a hiatus from blogging, but we are back. We had a great Christmas vacation. We spent December 23rd and 24th with Jarrod's parents in Reno. On Christmas day we boarded a jet and headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to spend 12 days with Amber's family. The weather was great, the food sucked and Amber had a hard time watching everyone else enjoy the delicious margaritas. While we were there we went on a pirate ship/booze cruise (poor Amber) and were fortunate enough to see a mama humback whale and her calf. It was an amazing sight watching the two of them swim alongside our boat. After about 10 minutes of watching the mama came up out of the water and waved her big tail at us. It was almost as if she was saying bye.

New years eve was pretty low key...well for me and my mom anyways :) The two of us were in bed and asleep by 9:00. At 11:45 everyone came back to the room and woke us up to watch the fireworks then it was back to bed by 12:05am. The rest of the crew had a great time until they ended up in a clinic getting stiches for one of the cousins. Did you know you can even negotiate prices in clinics in Mexico?! Ask Jarrod all about it! New Year's day was pretty rough for everyone except mom and I!!

The rest of the trip was laid back. Overall it was a fun trip, but we are certainly glad to be back.
