Emily's 3rd Birthday




Emily wanted an "Enchanted" party. So everything was centered around Giselle and Disney's Enchanted...her favorite movie. I turned the dining room into an Enchanted Forest and we had a tea party with a few little friends. You can't tell from the pictures but I put white lights under the glass tables and put the outdoor Christmas deer (lite up) in there too. Family came over after for some pizza and cake. Emily said she had a great time, loved all her presents...and was so happy with her Enchanted Tea Party.

Mexico

The Beach! Weather was not great...at all...but the resort was nice, the food was fantastic, the drinks were great...and the company was wonderful!

Kris by the pool...no sun...but plenty of drinks...

Fancy fountain and grounds...

Sushi restaurant...there was also Fusion (fancy), Brazilian (amazing meat)...and an awesome breakfast buffet...I gained 6-8lbs on this trip!!!


Nighttime in the square...Mariachi band and drinks...


Pool with swim-up bar...too bad we only went in it one day cause it was too cold...


FINALLY!!! some sun!!!!!!!!!! Three days later...but worth the wait....


Cute little town of Playa del Carmen...bought the girls some little sombraros (how do you spell that?)


Fun to get fancy for dinner!


...and that was it! RIU Palace Mexico...all I could say is that I wish that I had had sun...but the resort was great, the company was great (that would be Kerry) and it was nice to relax by myself with noone calling me "mommy" for a few days ;0) I hope Jim gets some sun on his boys trip to Las Vegas next month!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Auntie-Kerry
