Let the Games Begin

By Anonymous -


The Olympics are finally here! As I've gotten older, for some reason, I love the Olympics more and more. Jake and I have been quite excited to watch the Beijing Olympics. We got invited to an Olympic Party on Friday night to watch opening ceremonies, which, if anyone didn't seem them, were AMAZING!!!!! We dressed up "chinese style" - I wore the robe that gma betty gave to me - it's probably japanese though - and wore my hair up in chopsticks. Jake work clothes that were all made in China:) We ate egg rolls and orange chicken, fried rice and fortune cookies. Our neighbors who invited us had decorated their apartment with chinese lanterns and flags from various nations. It was a blast! I highly recommend everyone watch the exciting competitions:) GO USA!

Okay, so here's the story behind this. We were reading scriptures, in Corinthians, about resurrection and being called back to the Lord or something....It mentioned something about the trumpets of God welcoming you back to heaven, and mom broke out into the trumpet fanfare from some Handel's Messiah piece. Becca, Lexi, and I did not (obviously) get the reference, but later on Dad broke out into some awesome Handel bass, and then...Voila! Mom came in with the trumpet fanfare, which was part of the song! We tried to get her to do it again on video, but she said she "does not perform on command." (next time we'll carry around a camera all the time just in case!) but anyways, here's what scripture reading is like at our house...enjoy! Love, Eliza
