 Getting off the boat at Nassau, Bahamas

 A very very old fort built by the British

 The Queen's Steps, This canyon was carved out by slave hands and took over a decade to complete. 

 Back on the boat we were able to hang out with Goofy

 And enjoy a port hole!

 One night at dinner

 At Universal we bought a donut at Lardboy's donuts, and it was amazing and HUGE! 

 On the Hogwarts Express...so cool

 Hogwarts

 A Korean BBQ place in Orlando. 

You order meats off the menu and then cook them right at the table. 

We had a great time.

One of the girls' favorite things was playing at an Arcade with Drew, Drew had a blast also.

Disney Cruise 2015

 For Christmas this year we went on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas! We had heard many many great things about Disney cruises and we were not disappointed!

 One of the nights on the ship there was a pirate party that was so fun. Lots of characters came out in pirate gear and there were fireworks....awesome.

 Castaway Cay. 

Disney owns an island in the Bahamas that is beautiful. 

 This was Rachel's favorite part! She loved the water and sand. 

 Crab race

 The Heckert girls in the sand. 

Overall I would highly recommend a Disney Cruise to anyone, it was a great vacation that I hope we do again!

Catching up

Playing a little catch up with the pictures:

Halloween was perfect this year: The girls were so cute and the weather awesome!

For thanksgiving this year we flew out to Annapolis to spent the holiday with Drew's parents. We had a wonderful time. The nice weather held out all weekend and we were able to visit the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of American History.

Elise turned 5 on December 1! My little sweetheart loves loves loves to sing and color and it just a joy!

Christmas piano recital

Christmas at Papa's

Kate made Drew and I so proud this year by saving up to buy a tablet. She had been asking for one for about a year and we encouraged her to save up. We agreed that if she saved up $100, we would cover the rest. To my surprise, Kate took to the idea right away. She saved her allowance, did extra jobs around the house, duck sat for our friends, and asked for money for Christmas. In just a few months she hit her goal! Drew was more excited than she was, I think;) Drew went out the very night she hit her $100 and bought her a tablet so she could open it up on Christmas morning! She loves it!
