"Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum up".

Please tell me you know where that quote is from. Anyway, here is a basic summary of our last month of life -- sorry for the brief explanation, I just don't have the energy!
Our first Christmas tree -- along with an African Santa and Mrs. Claus we inherited from Steve's parents, haha.Macall jumping on our hide-a-bed. Thanks for letting us pit stop at your home, Harris fam!Steve and his lil' bros gaming. Steve's become quite the iPhone app gamer while I've been sick.Steve grew a 'stache before Christmas... he thought it was really cool.
Our only picture together over Christmas break. The only day I wasn't in bed.... grrr. All that beautiful California sunshine wasted!
Cutest man in the world playing some beach vball with his buddies on Main Beach Laguna
The Rios' fam came over to join us with ukulele music and Christmas carols -- we all got into it. So fun! This is David mastering the jingle bells.
Dad, Mom, Danny, Sammy -- all playing the uke.
Husband, brother, rocking the jingle bells

Amanda and I dominated Super Mario World. I beat Bowser like it was my job.

The day after we made the drive back to Utah from California, we were supposed to get on a plane to Cancun. I was SOOOO sick, and there was no way we were going to go, but I went to the doctor the day we were set to leave for Mexico, and he gave me some medicine and reassurance. The snow was dumping, I felt sick, and an hour before we had to leave to make our flight, I decided being sick in the sun MIGHT be better than being sick in a dark, cold basement with the snow piling up outside my window.
This is what I did the entire time -- layed in the shade and didn't move a muscle. I popped pills, ate a ton of fresh fruit (an effort to unsuccessfully regulate myself -- pregnancy hormones are whack!), and slept on a lounge chair while Steve played in the waves, layed in the sun, and played pool vball with his buds.
Cutie -- he takes such good care of me :)

Lots of pina coladas the first day -- not so many the rest of the trip haha

HA! I didn't even know you WENT to Cancun. I didn't even ask you about it because I thought you had decided against it. I'm glad you went. Did you really not do ANY sightseeing at all? Just layed LOWE? HA!

Also, that answer to your first question is, of course, Princess Bride -- source of so many quotable quotes :-). Love you!

At least you had things to kind of take your mind off of being SO SICK!! Hopefully the sun helped a bit!!

I am laughing so hard that you "inherited" an "African" Santa and Mrs. Clause! Lol! You're so funny Becca! I thought those were so cool when my parents bought them! haha!
