{Kandell girls on the Disney Wonder at port in Cabo}

I am pledging to finish my 2011 posts in the next week so I can finally move on to this year and feel caught up. And I am doing so on my blog so more than just me know of this pledge.

I need to do Christmas

The Disney Cruise

and Eric's LOW VA RATES Christmas Vegas extravaganza.

All of these post are intimidating because they were almost over-documented.

But I'll do them. Not that anyone cares if I don't but I will.

Dolphin Swim in Puerto Vallarta

I intend to get around to posting our Disney Cruise we went on over Christmas Break and New Years but since I have a few hundred photos, I thought I'd break it up a bit and post some of the highlights separate.

One of our favorite shore days on the Disney Cruise was the dolphin encounter and kids swim that Ady and Maxwell did.

They both claimed they only "might" touch the dolphin and neither wanted to actually ride on the dolphin but that changed as soon as the kids get on the water with the dolphins. It was awesome to see the kids get to feed, ride and play with the dolphins. They both have talked about it as one of their favorite things from the trip. So glad they loved it, and so proud of my brave kiddies.

Grandpa's Funeral

{Eric, Me and Adyson at Centerville Cemetary}

Last Friday was the funeral to celebrate the Life of my grandpa Stan Smoot. A wonderful man and a life that was well-lived. It was an honor to sing with all my cousins at Grandpa's funeral, as requested by him before he passed.

So many beautiful words were shared and stories than made us laugh and cry. I beautiful day, and a fitting tribute to his legacy.

Love unlimited Grandpa!
