We had a wonderful Christmas with Gracey and my family this year. Christmas eve Gracey opened her red flannel jammies and Rob and I spent the evening preparing food for Christmas. Rob woke up early and had candles lit and a fire going. My parents stayed with us and my sisters and their families arrived in the morning. Our gift exchange lasted most of the day...revolving around naps,brunch and a call from Justin in Croatia. For Christmas dinner we have adopted the May's family tradition of choosing what ever you want. We call it "My favorite thing" Our dinner this year consisted of:
Rob-seared ahi, lettuce wraps
Felicity-Thai Food
Mom- toasted ravioli's
Dad- Ham, twice baked potatoes
Tiffany- pumpkin pie
Bryce-baked brie
Eric-iced sugar cookies
Harmony-garlic bread
We also shared our favorite Christmas memories. When Harmony was in Elementary school she made a teddy bear Christmas ornament. This bear has the biggest belly and every year we would torment poor Harmony by putting the "pregnant bear" in the back of the tree. This was done multiple times in one season. Bryce made sure he carried on the tradition by doing the same while visiting their home this holiday. :)
I have received so many precious gifts over the years. My mom is very creative and thoughtful, one year even making me a board bag for my surf board. Last year Rob's mom made Gracey an ABC book that is about our family and Christ. It is adorable. Of all the many gifts, the greatest of all is our Saviour. I love this time of year and am so grateful for all of my many blessings. Have a safe New Years and we will see what 2008 has in store for the May's!

Looks like the Harris family and the May family share the same 2007 highlights! Can't wait to do it again next year!
