Christmas and more!

Christmas at my house was absolutely wonderful this year! Not only did I do the amazing and unpredictable, I bought my wife clothes....THAT SHE ACTUALLY LIKED AND KEPT! I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with her returning clothes that I buy if she doesn't like them...in fact, it's a rule. I save all my receipts so she can return anything that doesn't fit right or that I just did wrong on. BUT I actually got it right this year. So I'm very happy. The kids also loved the new toys and they even liked the clothes. Not bad for 3 and 5 year old kids.


Now that gun to the left is what my wonderful, beautiful, and kind wife bought me. Knowing that I have wanted one for quite some time, and thinking it would be a good thing to do with my friends in the Ward (since none of them fly fish). It's great, it is a Spyder Sonix Pro exactly like the picture except with red detailing. I love it. So....Super thanks to Lee!

With gun and hand, and CO2 Tanks full, I gathered with 24 other men today for my first battle in almost 10 years! It was frigid afternoon as we met in the open field full of sage brush and tall grass. With only a strip of duct tape on each arm to distinguish my friends from my foes, we separated to each side of field. The first two battles were "blood bath" rules, attack with the goal of having more guys from your team left at the end. I didn't make to long in this fight, I got aggressive and got picked off first in the battle. Alas, the taped team (my team) proved unable to dominate at this game... or was it that we were mismatched team 14-11. We balanced the team by taking one person and continued to Capture the flag. The next 4 matches were tight but we were able to dominate the field.

Being apart of the team as it completes the is amazing, but I really appreciated to time that I had to sit on the sideline after being shot out. It's really cool to see the team move through the field and work together to flush out stragglers and pick them off. It was true blast! Soooo... Once again, Thanks Lee for a great Christmas present!

A **GUN**?? WHOA, Nelly! Guess what Benji got from his sweet wife? NUTTIN'. Absolutely nuttin. Of course, he got HIMSELF his new F350 in October, so.....yeah. It's like, Merry Christmas, Sweetie- your gift is parked right outside. LOL. The kids were like, "Didn't Santa get you and dad anything?" And I'm like, "Uh- YEAH! A whole bunch of fruit in our stockings! Seriously- how did Santa know we wanted a bunch of pears, bananas, apples, and oranges?" My oldest just laughed at me for "asking Santa" for fruit. ROFL!

I have to say I'm impressed with your ability to shop for your wife. Could you teach my dh a thing or two? He still thinks we're in the '80s or something. HELLO, dearie- tapered pants are SO not cool. Pastels? Are you KIDDING ME?? LOL!

Sounds like you had a wonderful christmas. We did, too. I LOVE having Benji home for more than an evening at a time, lol.
