Playa del Carmen

We returned yesterday from paradise, though, we were super antsy to return to our baby Taylor.  Christian asked about 38 times the day we left "Can I see my baby?".  I think maybe she choked a little when I finally got my hands on her.  I couldn't seem to squeeze her hard enough! 

Aside from that, we had a blast.  We doubled up on this year's big vacation... It was also Ricky and Candice's wedding weekend.  And what an awesome wedding it was!
Ricky's neice, Jaiden, was in Mexico.  As you will remember from a previous post, this is who Christian says is his girlfriend.  Jaiden says they will be "official" when they are big.  (Don't know where she learned this word!)  On the first night, Christian was changing into his swimsuit.  Jaiden said "Oh, you are cute!".  Then as Christian took off his shirt she said "And you have big muscles, of course!".  Well, of course. 

He held both of our arms the whole way to the resort.  He said we are his "best uncle friends".  I have no idea what that means, but it sure is sweet!

Our room at the resort - Gran Porto Real

The shower was huge!

This was included, actually EVERYTHING was included.
(Thus, the term all-inclusive.)

What the beach saw of our balcony

This is a whole roasted pig.  Probably the best ham I have ever had.

Christian learned how to cut his own food.  A look of determination...

After-dark poolside entertainment

Christian and Jaiden were best buds the whole time.

Of course I get to stand next to the pilates girl, Candice!  Ugh.

My camera focused on my hand instead of what I intended.  This is a picture of a tiny man-of-war.  The wind blew in a whole bunch of these guys.

Christian opened her candy for her.

 Jaiden sat there forever with her hand out waiting for Christian to dance with her like "boyfriend and girlfriend".

She was stood up for a glow stick and got so mad.  She didn't talk to him for almost 10 minutes.  (I don't think he even noticed)

The first dance.  (Well, after Christian and Jaiden broke it in.)

Father/Daughter dance

Mother/Son dance

Christian and Jaiden were such little love birds.  These poses were not directed.

Good bye!
