Christmas Time is Here... and Gone!

Merry Belated Christmas to all our Family and Friends!
Adam and I love Christmas... I don't know what it is about this holiday but I think it really is our favorite. I love this season because it reminds me of an older more simpler time like the period from the original movie "Miracle on 31st Street". of course there's family and great food and tons of fun but it's just a great time to be around the people that you love and eat all the food that you love too! :D
My parents came to visit us in windy Wyoming and we enjoyed having them here! My Christmas wish of having a white Christmas came true with a snowstorm! It was snowing for 2-3 days straight and then the wind came and kept coming! But even though it huffed and puffed it did not blow our house down!
The next few days were filled with cooking and quality kitchen time. We played a lot of games together like guesstures taboo and catch phrase! Good times!
Lily was exceptionally happy having four people pay their undivided attention to her and feeding her and petting her... now she's spoiled and expects me to pet her all the time! Can you say high-maintenance? hahaha you'd think she was from California or something being so prissy! ah hahaha
On Christmas day we invited all of Adam's single friends from work to share a late lunch and hang out for the day. It was a lot of fun having the house full of people. It reminds me of my parents house when they would always invite people over for meals and the search to find enough chairs for everybody was always fun too! There was enough seating for everybody and definitely enough food, we're still eating the leftovers!
Even though Christmas is over Adam will not let me take down any of the decorations! I have a feeling we'll be one of those families that will have our christmas lights still on for Valentines day! Oh man... We'll see if i can convince adam to take down at least the tree this weekend. it's starting to brown and look like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree... It's already fulfilled it's christmas destiny so now it's off to the chopper for you tree! :(
As for New Years... I completely forgot today was new years eve until my Mom asked me what our plans were... "Plans? For what?" Yea we're simple country folk here... no fireworks (the wind won't permit it) and the c-antelope would freak out and maybe start a stampede! I think we may just have a few people over and hang out. I'll figure out something to cook.. maybe take out the leftover from Christmas! hahaha
We have missed all of you: our family and friends and hope that your holidays have been as wonderful as ours!
Love and Leftovers from our home to yours,
Adam and JC xxo

....AND...WE'RE BACK!!

I know it's a very delayed post! Sorry! Who knew that being a 'house wife' would be such a demanding job? :D haha
well The Philippines was such an amazing and unexpected trip. Being in the military we're getting used to living our lives through the painstaikingly annoiying process of 'hurry up... and wait'. URG! The good news is that for this trip, everything worked out and I am learning that you can't really plan every second of your life... sometimes it's just better to let God do the planning and to just sit back and see what He has in store. He is making me spontaneous again... Adam and I used to be spontaneous but then my micro-managing got in the way of that...
ANYWAYS....I digress.. oh yes! the Philippines!
We were able to spend 10 days in the P.I. where Adam was able to meet the Chua family (Mom's side) and of course, my 'Pata' and Lola Evaline. (Dad's side) We ate so much food and even though the trip was on overdrive and rushing from one place to the next, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and soaked up all the family we were suddenly surrounded by. It was great being around family again.
I will try and give you all little 'insights' or short 'blurps' on stories from our trip. Hopefully i'll remember them all!

FLIGHT FROM SFO TO JAPAN = 12 hrs
*Poke Poke Poke* Adam... ADAM! WAKE UP!!
adam: huh what?
jc: you have been sleeping the WHOLE FLIGHT and i am B-O-R-E-D BORED!!

Arriving in Manila:
Adam: hungry and tired... where's the AIR CONDITIONING?!?!
JC: I'm cold turn it OFF!! ooh i want JOLLIBEE!! (Filipino version of McDonalds... wayyy better!)

Banka (boat) ride to Mindoro:
Lola Evaline:(on the phone) so you're sure the typhoon is out of the area?
JC: (whispering to adam) typhoon?!?! i think we can wait another day... yes lets wait another day to take the little tiny boat through the raging typhoon.
ON THE BANKA:
JC: where... is... my...DRAMAMINE!!
Adam: zzzzZZZZZZzzzZZZZZ < yup he fell asleep...

MINDORO:
Adam: So... your Pata is pretty much the 'Godfather' huh?
JC: yup. 'He'll give you an offer you can't refuse' lol haha

SNORKLING:
JC: Why is the ocean so dirty?! *putting on snorkels* Holy Moly! JELLYFISH!
ADAm: Lets keep swimming they will go away
*it didn't get better... it got worse...
Adam: See? they aren't stinging you... you'll be fine!
JC: OUCH! oh the irony... good timing jellyfish!

MANILA:
Adam: could we please not go to SM Megamall (Gigantic mall) i don't want to get lost like when i was 8...
JC: Ok no prob. (sorry :( we ended up going our last day... but i didn't lose him! no way! Adam held onto my pinky the whole time and wouldn't let go while i weaved through the crowds of people)

shopping shopping shopping!

Adam's Birthday:
Pata: I will take you out to dinner for your birthday adam (told you... and offer he couldn't refuse! haha) :D
We ate at my Pata's favorite japanese restaurant the food was great! Adam was finally full! (a rare occurrence) lol
During Dinner:
Pata - adam you want another beer... waiter get him another beer! (x's 2)

When Filipino's feed you and feed you and feed you.. this is the biggest compliment that you can receive from them. Adam never went hungry the duration of our stay... :D

Flight Back to SFO:
**Poke Poke Poke** JC Wake up!!
JC: yup i slept the whole way.... sweet amazing sleep!

Present Time:
We just spoke to Pata tonight as we miss him very much... He told me (jc) "I really like adam... I approve!"

We are so grateful that we were able to go on this trip because it was very important that Adam meet the family and especially Pata since he is Grandpa. It was an unforgettable trip and a place we would both love to go back to again... Thanks for the prayers of safe travels.. we are home and so happy to be sleeping in our own bed again.. even with Lily taking up most of the room!

Love and bunches of Mangoes!
Adam & JC Pruitt xxo

Where to begin...

MANGOES AND PATA: two great things!

Well,
There will be a whole big
blog all about the Philippines trip but since i've been down with an icky filipino virus (of course adam's iron-clad stomach didn't catch it) i am kind of tired and recuperating. So! For now pictures will have to do... explanations will follow... :D

This is our first breakfast: Mangoes, Milo, tocino, garlic rice, and eggs! YUMMY!


The 'Banka' or boat that we took on the way to Mindoro :
