  • Merry Christmas!

    It is officially Christmas in Manila. I just finished putting the last of the presents under the tree and now I'm watching the fireworks before heading to bed. May you all have a joyous and safe Christmas.

    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            Joyeux Noel! I hope all of CUF is having Christmas with their loved ones.

            My heart is with a few of my friends in Afghanistan today, missing the memories with their loved ones and missing those milestones in their young babies' lives that happen in the blink of an eye.

              It is Christmas Eve here, and I can tell that tonight and tomorrow are going to be rough.

              My FIL got here about 2 hours and my wife was stressing out for 2 days while he was driving. It is probably the first time he has driven 180 miles without his wife in 45 years.

              My wife is normally asleep each night at 830P. She has been up the last 2 nights until 1 AM or later.

              Tomorrow is going to be tough for my FIL and my girls. I actually don't even want to be around for it, but will have to be.

              I have kept the spirit of the holiday strong though.

                The in-laws gave out one present to each of the grandchildren that are here at the house tonight.

                They are called Sing-A-Ma-Jigs and they make all sorts of loud noises when you squeeze their stomachs. If you have multiple ones near each other, they harmonize when you squeeze their stomachs. When you have 11 of them near each other, they make a noise akin to a banshee wail.

                These damn things are already Public Enemy #1 in my book and it has only been about 30 minutes

                Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

                  Ha! I know of what you speak. The fact that they look like demented sex dolls is not helpful. I bought one for my brother's dog.

                    My sister-in-laws husband mentioned that he thought it was cool that the doll had an "active sphincter."

                    Needless to say, awkward silence ensued for a second and I saw what I am pretty sure was a laser sharp glare from my FIL towards my BIL.

                      just wait TripleGrinch, you'll have fond memories of them yet, mark my words.

                            Just got home from taking the whole bunch out to look at the Christmas lights. No fights, and pleasant company. I must be getting mellow.

                            All kids are home, from BYUI, & UVU. Wife is happy as a clam. I smell a Scrabble game brewing.

                              Yep. Christmas with teenagers blow.

                              Here is the Christmas List:

                              1. Cash
                              2. Gift Cards
                              3. Apple Product (iPad, iPod)

                              And that is the extent of the list
