Christmas with the Harris Clan

I am having a hard time catching up on my blogging, so this will be another quick one:

We spent Christmas in Southern California this year. My entire family - my parents, all 6 siblings, husbands and cousins were there for the big Harris harrah. Luckily my sister has a 7 bedroom house and large kitchen (:
We had a blast playing tennis, picking pomegranits, oranges and other citrus, olives and avocados and even made it over the the LA temple for a few days!

I depended on my sisters to take photos and then didnt' get all the photos - so till then, here are the only photos I have.

We got our yearly 30 pound package of penuts as well as a half dozen other generous packages from DDaddy this Christmas (: Ddaddy even sent 2 packages to California for my family - a major highlight of the season - especially the fresh pecans!

On the home front, they had a Christmas village and free tours with Mrs Claus that we cashed in on. Brooklyn sat on 3 different Santa's knees, met Santa's Raindeer and Mrs Claus this Christmas.

We loved having Vic, Bree and Christopher to keep us company and help us make our cookie plates to give our friends.

Craft time with the Phipps was another holiday memory

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below.

As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
