The Mossburgs are family to us. Debbie and Kelley (Memom and Gaga, respectively) have been second parents to John since he and Landon were best friends in middle school. And, when John and I got married more than a decade ago, they all welcomed me into the family with open arms. Landon and his wife Dani are like a brother and sister to us–and also lived in Singapore during our time there! We even visited them in Sweden in 2018! Needless to say we were DELIGHTED to be invited on the Mossburg family vacation this year–a Christmas cruise to the Bahamas on the Disney Dream!

Mickey outfit on–and ready to fly!

We left from Port Canaveral, but sadly didn’t get to see any rocket launches!

Conrad’s first cruise! He’s a fan already!

Welcome aboard party! Memom is the only person on the planet who could convince John to wear a personalized matching shirt 🙂

Memom, Gaga, and Uncle Kel join the party!

Our first night we had dinner at Animator’s Palate, which included visits from Crush and the gang! Crush actually interacted with us. The kids (and adults) loved it!

Conrad wanted ketchup. Of course it came in the shape of Mickey ears!

Disney ice cream became a daily occurrence.

Our first port of call was Nassau, so we headed over to the Atlantis Resort to enjoy their water park!

Our little explorer…

The ladies (minus Memom)! I’m about 13 weeks pregnant here and feeling it! Doesn’t Dani look amazing?!?

Back on the ship this little guy couldn’t get enough of the waterslide!

Getting off the boat at Castaway Cay–Disney’s island in the Bahamas!

A shovel and a bucket–the ultimate beach fun for a toddler!

Pina Coladas (one is a virgin, of course!!) And Conrad putting every seashell back in the ocean.

Pirate night! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Ahoy me hearties!

Look at his face!!! Yes–he got the Pluto. And I’d do it again 100 times for the look on that face!

New best friend!

Sailing!

And we had to go see Santa! I may or may not know him! 😉

Conrad is not a fan of Santa. And it scared him that Mama was so close…

Beautiful Memom and her handsome boys!

One of the only pics of the 4 of us from the trip! We’ve had good times on at least 3 continents 🙂

The whole Mossburg/Candeto crew. Love them!

After we disembarked, we were picked up by Aunt Linda and Uncle Russell! So good to see these two! 🙂
