Right before Christmas, Holly and I got to finally take our honeymoon. When we left Kansas City, it was about 7 degrees...so we were very ready to go to Cancun and Playa del Carmen.







This was our hotel in Cancun. It was pretty deserted and felt like we had the place to ourselves, it was awesome.


We loved the beds near the beach...the frozen drinks didn't hurt either ;)


h+p+beach = the best




Self portrait with my underwater camera. I was happy that I finally got to use it in water...I had it for about 4 months before it got wet.


This was a cool restaurant and lounge that was in a cave in Playa del Carmen.  But it was horrendously hot. Only about a story below street level so it did not have much of a natural cooling effect.


I love this photo of a dog that was rummaging through the trash on the street.  Didn't even growl at us.




We spent a lot of the time at the resort in Playa.

One of my close friends (Mr. Savage) had an ugly sweater themed holiday party so I brought my camera and took some quick photos.

Mike has some awesome hair that can be styled with ease...makes me jealous that I have such short hair.


ATTACK OF THE CUPS!!!!


We tamed the cups and made them into nice hats.  You can't get the full effect of my 'ugly' sweater in this picture, but it was ridiculously shrunken.  It is wool and was washed/put in the dryer. Once it came out of the dryer, it looked like it was made for my 6 year old niece ;)






Mike and Amanda are doing some test shots for the Mustache Bash in the next couple weeks. Pictures of that awesomeness will be posted soon ;)


Mr. Savage took a right jab from Keith...I guess Keith didn't like the cheese tray or something.



It was a fun time and a nice way to end all of the normal holiday commotion.

My niece cracks me up. After Thanksgiving dinner at my brothers house, Holly noticed something about the cats. I will let you look at the next couple pics and see if you can tell.





If you haven't noticed, she cut the cat's whiskers in half. She told us she did this because when the cat would rub against her face in bed, it tickled. I am tickled silly that she did something like this. She didn't know that whiskers are an integral part of their senses. I foresee that cat getting stuck a lot now ;)


Sidney also made some name places. I was a bald man with a really dark tan, and her Dad was wearing a dress ;)
