{thanksgiving in Cozumel..nothing better!}

How I love Cozumel! For a week over Thanksgiving we went to our fav spot in Mexico~the Cozumel Palace-! It was my parents, my sis Paige, Linds and Bri, and my cute friend Mindy and her hubby Bri. It was perfect weather, and we had such an amazing time! we played on the beach, went shopping, rode around the island on scooters, enjoed the fab 85 degree weather, snorked outside the back door, ate yummy food (pretty sure someone had chip and quac with every meal), played cards, hit the spa, and just hung out with our pina coladas at the pool. It was really just so much fun to forget everything and just relax! One of the reasons it was so relaxing is that my fabulous sister in law, and niece Alise watched our kiddos. They came and stayed at our house, and were just amazing. Alise was so cute with Caleb and Zoee! they love her. We are so lucky to have you guys! We also got to watch the Cozumel Ironmanwhile we were there. The bike route went right in front of our place, and then the finish was a block away. We knew a handful of people doing it, and it was a blast to go watch. The finish line was awesome!
It was so great to get away from the cold, and just have such a relaxing trip! The company and the vaca could not have been more fun!

**There is some major picture overload! (I have some of Linds and Paige's picts on here too!) grab a drink..you could be a while..

we adore the coz palace

Andrew and I drove the scooters to the end of the island, and this was the view! all I can say is...gorgeous!

some major girl time at the pool--could we have laughed harder? so many fun stories!

we hit the beach--and surfed the waves--

YAY! It took us about 15 tries to get this pict just right! we had Paige's point and shoot camera with a self timer. We just kept jumping and laughing..I am pretty sure some people thought we were a little tipsy.

out shopping

My mom learning some culinary skills! and me and Andre (I seriously think this picts is so funny--and a little creepy)--but LOveD the book! it is a must read!

The IronMaN

The Ironman was so fun to watch! the bike course went right in front of our hotel--and the finish was a block away! I wanted to be out there racing! I am going to do an ironman one of these days!

Loved this wall! Aren't Mindy and Bri the cutest! love them!

This beautiful little girl I saw in Playa de Carmen

headed out snorkeling

The first of December they put up the tree, and the little kids come and sing Christmas songs. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. They sang their little hearts out!
