Finally got up the courage to look over lol.

Makes me want to get a passport and go back to the Bahamas. I haven't been since I was younger than your kids. :o( I haven't done a cruise yet. But who knows? The other half brings it up every few months. LOL.
So your family just likes to take pics with random people huh? They're probably walking around looking for the perfect place and then one of you just jacks their picture. LOL.
Your son is storing energy for puberty that's why he's sleeping. Caking with the girlies will require a lot of energy and the ability to get a nap when he can. Let me stop.

OMG, that looks like the best vacation ever! Happy new year to you and your fun-loving family :)
Posted by: Amy | January 06, 2011 at 10:17 AM
I'm a little afraid of heights too. Looking over can be intense. But pulling into those ports is SO beautiful.
Atlaaaaaannnnnntiss. I feel guilty now for not taking the kids. We're going back to scuba dive one of these days.
I could use a trip to the lido deck right about now myself. Or the buffet. I was going to try princess cruise next because I heard that their dining room food was way better than Carnival.
Posted by: Buttahfly | January 06, 2011 at 11:29 AM
What a great cruise! I like the pics of random people. Somehow vacations make people a lot less inhibited!
Posted by: Vanessa | January 06, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Awesome! Many good mommy points. Next time, you need me as a personal assistant. LOL.
Posted by: Dei | January 06, 2011 at 12:44 PM
I love the pics. I'm gonna need AJ to take a 5 hour energy drink b/c he's sleeping his life away. LOL! Awe, Kayla was scared! Y'all had a great time. Makes me want to go back on a cruise this year.. And that's not in my plans.
Posted by: Serenity23 | January 06, 2011 at 01:17 PM

Posted by: Carla | January 06, 2011 at 01:41 PM

Great way for a family to bring in the new year! I can see it was a lot of fun. Love the pictures. Especially of the boys sleeping at the table! My son was just like that when he was that age!
Happy New Year!

Yay! Love the vacation pics! I wish we could've had a sound clip for that first pic, but the kids' expressions told it all!! Julia's comment made me go back and read your post again, lol It was great that some of your extended family could go too! What a great way to kick off the new year!!
Posted by: NC Peach | January 11, 2011 at 11:33 AM
Overall, How much WEIGHT did the family gain? Are you now candidates for, "The Biggest Loser?" :)
Your daughter looks just like you.
What a wonderful family.
