Mexico and more

First off, Happy Holidays! I haven't done much checking in during December because of our week vacation in Mexico! Where to begin...ahhh. It was a much needed vacation for Kyle and I. Sun, sand, cocktails, all while surrounded by some of our favorite people. The main reason for the trip was my best friends wedding (which happened on Friday the 12th). We went down on Wednesday and came back Monday. The wedding has 90 guests (!) and we all had a blast. Pool parties, beach walks, yummy drinks, lots of sun, relaxation, family time, and of course, a beautiful wedding on the beach. How much better can it get?! My parents and sister and brother in law went as well, so it was a mini family vacation too. We had so much fun, and the weather was perfect. I'll re cap with some pictures at the end. A HUGE thanks to Kyle's parents for coming out to our house for the week to watch the kids. We couldn't have a better family to help out with the kids so that we can take these kinds of trips- so thank YOU!
This week was busy prepping for Christmas, getting the last of the presents wrapped, finishing up making cookies, and the kids enjoyed their last week of school until January. Preston had his Christmas concert on Thursday, and it was hilarious. He wanted nothing to do with it. He stood like a statue and had a quivering lip the entire time. All 6 other kids danced, sang, and clapped while Preston stood there wanting to cry the entire time (which he did at the end and I had to get him.) Him and Reese are SO opposite. She had a solo at her program, and rocked it!
We went to the Indy Zoo last night for their Zoo Lights. It was AWESOME. The animals were all out roaming around, the dolphin show featured Christmas music, and the kids had a blast. I'm so glad we went.
Here are some pics of our last few weeks. We head home on Monday for a week - so I'll check back in after Christmas. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

Oh, before I sign off- HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! See you in a few days :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS- from our family, to yours!!
