Christmas Eve/ Isaac's Birthday party

Taylor's aunt who works for Princess Cruises, is also the aunt who had teenagers and visits Utah several times a year. Her kids love my boys and my kids ADORE hers. Ethan and Russ are like two little video game addicts when they get together. Sophia and Isaac play like best friends. And Isabella babies Miles and he eats it up.
So as a surprise for Isaac (whose birthday got mostly overshadowed by the grandeur of Bora Bora) she ordered in a party for everyone to celebrate his birthday. And they were sweet enough to bring along a few presents for him- funny sunglasses and nerf guns.
The one and only present I brought along for him was a set of lighting McQueen and Francesco cars that talk.
And then we all hung out in the way over the top suite. Okay if you're a VP you can expect this kind of treatment from your own company, right?
Seriously? A wrap around balcony with views to die for.
Ethan, grandpa, Barbara, Taylor, and Clint (yep those 2 are still telling shark stories).
Thankfully the nerf darts were padded because they got shot A LOT!
See how spoiled my kids are? So nice to be around family.

We had 10 nights on the ship and most nights Ethan chose to eat and play at the kids center. Isaac went a few times but was often happy to tag along with us (and more importantly Sophia) and then just play his ipod. So on his birthday he came to dinner and they came out with his very own little chocolate cake.
Miles came along too, well in fact he came along every night since you had to be 3 to stay without a parent at the kid center. But this sweetie was an angel and didn't cause even one problem at dinner. Thank you ipod!
