...and all that jazz...

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy New Year! It's been a while since I've blogged here and as for the goings-on, the holidays have been grand indeed. The wife's BFF and family traveled from the Philippines to spend the holidays with us and how wonderful it is to share holidays with the ones you love.

Santa was kind to the little boy this year, granting him his wish for a s#^$load of Transformers. And thank you mom and dad for giving him his very own puppy! Louie is a lively, character and a wonderful addition to the family!

Jake's a little scared of him as he has been nipped a couple of times, but we've been trying to reassure him that Louie is still a puppy and doesn't know not to bite yet. He's a lot of fun and went on his first trip with us to Reno.

We brought our guests up to the snow and mother nature did not hesitate to show us her beauty. Driving up, snow fell and our guests were in near tears with joy.

The following day we took the kids up to the snow for a day of sledding. The snow was white, the sky was clear and blue and EVERYONE had so much fun. We followed the day with a buffet of king crab legs, prime rib, and shrimp cocktail courtesy of the El Dorado Hotel and Casino.

Right now, our guests are on an Amtrak train coming back from a weekend in Los Angeles. The weather hasn't been very nice, but I've also been under the weather so staying home is just fine for me right now. Our best friends came by on Friday for a double feature and chicken and dumplings. It's been great.

Hope the past few weeks have been great for you. Except for this cold, I've had the time of my life.

Wifey's birthday is coming up...she hasn't given me any hints yet on what she wants.
