40 YEARS OLD - SURPRISE CRUISE!!!!

So, my most wonderful husband surprised me with a party, all my family was there! It was so amazing.

I seriouslly was so surprised!!

The best surprise was that he took me on a cruise!!! It left out of Galveston, TX so we were able to fly in to Houston and spend time with his brother and dad before we left.....

Dancing and dinner with Mark and Rachel...

Lonnie and Missie got me a birthday cake and sang to me, so sweet!!

And off we go on our cruise!!! The first day was really windy, but who cares, we were in swimsuits in the sun and it was the middle of December!!

The ship was so pretty. We just loved it!!

Getting ready to head out for the night....

We met friends the first night at kareoke. It was so fun! Then off to dancing all night long!

In front of the ship, We love Carnival Ecstasy!!

Our first stop was Progresso. It wasn't the prettiest place, but we had a blast!!

Who's the hottie on the beach?

The shells were amazing, they were everywhere!!

So much fun!!

Our friends Anthony and April. They were so fun to hang with.

Time to get back on the ship....

Back to kareoke!! And fun times on the ship...

Our next stop was Cozumel, it was beutiful!! Loved seeing this big sign for Christmas!!

Fun at the beach...

Go Cozumel!!

We spent the day in Cozumel with another couple we met on the ship. Christy and I won the balloon toss and got a free tshirt!!

Go Utes!!

That Mexico sun is a lot hotter than Utah sun!!

Fun times with friends...

Steve and Anthony had the same watch, it was a joke we had the whole cruise....

WHAT A GREAT TIME!! THANK YOU HONEY FOR AN AMAZING TIME!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!

Our Christmas Eve started out saying Happy 40th Birthday to me!! My cutest husband and kids went out the night before and put these cups in an overpass we drove by on the way to my parents. What a FUN surprise!!

Such a fun day to celebrate turning 40, and Christmas!! Loving my little Ryan....

Yo Yo, look at the hotties on Christmas Eve!!!

Sisters.....and Friends!! (Some cousin behind Codye being funny!!)

The Nativity. What a crazy loud time, and at the same time when Dad starts reading the story and gets choked up, it makes me cry every year.

Oh my crazy Linden and Camy, aren't you so funny!!

Newton kids with Santa!!!

After the fun times at Bapa and Brammy's, we head home and have our own traditions. One is to have our special hot chocolate and go out driving around looking at lights. It is usually about 6:00 when we go and the kids say I must put a sleeping pill in the hot chocolate because they all get tired and want to go home to go to bed for Santa!!

Then dad reads us stories, Polar Express, The Last Straw, The Littlest Angel, Night Before Christmas....

These cute kids are our life, we love them so much!!

CHRISTMAS MORNING.....

Yeah, Brandon got his waders and flies!!!

Braden got his scooter and legos....

Linden got her NICE jeans!!

So much fun opening all those presents!! We are spoiled!!

Ry Ry in her new Dora tent with Spongebob!! She was so fun this year saying thank you to Santa and dancing around. We love her so much!

Every year dad gives all the kids socks!! It's a HUGE pet peve of his that the kids don't have socks. He goes and does his shopping and wraps socks for them every year.
