Ya Man...No Problem

Well, first off I would like to apologize for being a slacker and not sending out Christmas cards this year.  We have been traveling and been so busy I didn't have a chance. 
For Thanksgiving this year, we were able to spend it with Tyson's family.  It was really neat on so many levels.  It was the first year I was able to spend Thanksgiving with his family and it was also the first time in a long time that the whole Beaman clan was together.  Here are a few photos from the event:

Dinner at Hollies

It was a fun filled time with visiting, good food, games and GO KARTS!  Hopefully we can do it again soon!
Then for Christmas, Tyson and I decided to go on a last minute trip.  We decided on Jamaica.  It was amazing.  We had a lot of fun and enjoyed spending time with the people and learning the lingo.  Yes, it is true, they really do say "ya man" and "no problem"  ALL the time.  It was a great deal of fun.  We were able to go kayaking  and paddle boating in the ocean.  Went snorkling, shopping, and hikes the Famous Dunn River Falls (which were AMAZING might I add).  I was also impressed with my husband's bargaining skills.  He got me a REAL coach bag for $40.  I don't know how he did it!  To top it off it was a great time spending time with my husband.  We enjoyed playing darts, shuffleboard, ping pong (which I got pretty good at), and pool.  Pool was my favorite because during this trip, I actually BEAT Tyson in pool.  Now, if you know Tyson, you know this is a pretty big feat!  I am very proud.  Here are some pics from our trip...enjoy!

As you can see, we had a great trip.  We were glad to get back.  We missed home and our puppies!  I do have to stay, it was pretty neat having a layover in New York.  We were able to see the Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge.  It planted the seed...I MUST go to New York now!  Maybe for our next trip :)   Happy New Year and Hope your Holidays were as great as ours!
