Mormon Red Death is an unknown quantity at this point
Default My 3 year old and the christmas tree

I really wish I could capture my daughter's excitement when we put up the tree last night. As soon as the lights turned on and the star on the top was blinking she stopped and went "Wow"..."Dad you are awesome"

That makes 2 hours of walking a string around a tree well worth it.

Keep that moment in mind 15 years from now when you have become the enemy, and decidedly not awesome.

Three-year-olds are great. So expressive, emotions right out there, a wonderful age.

You are the hero.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

I get to see my three-year-old for sixteen hours this weekend, including taking her to see Santa.

The only bad thing about 3 year olds is that they eventually turn into 14 year olds. Our youngest (and last) just turned 3, and every day I dread her getting older.

Wait, it took you TWO HOURS to put the lights on the tree? I think she was just trying to boost your self-esteem.



Seriously, 3 year olds to turn into 14 year olds but then they turn into 19 year olds and it starts getting better.

That's nothing. My wife takes about 5 hours all together. Up and down the trunk, and up and down every single branch.

So tempted to make a crack here, so I will refrain.....even though by referencing the obvious joke, I really didnt refrain from anything....
