Wonder what she was eating?? I know what is was, but I also know what it looks like...lol

A great shot of all of us!! We had a great time and didn't want to leave!!!
We had a great time on our cruise!!! It was supposed to be a trip for just Jeff and I, but the closer it got, the more upset I got about leaving my baby. I was so upset the night before we left for Ft. Lauderdale that Jeff decided to invite his parents along so Brooke could come with us. That turned out to be the best decision (not that I didn't want time alone with my husband!!). I had a great time hanging out with just the girls. I feel like I had more bonding time with Nancy (mom) and I know Jeff and Tom enjoyed their time together doing manly things!! I am so ready to go again!!!!
