We had some special guests at our family New Year's Eve party.

Our family on all sides went to Ateneo (including my mother's side). So when we have family reunions, talk is on politics (there are a number of professional writers), business, and sports. Among us first cousins, six of us played varsity sports. My brother was in the Blue Babble Battalion back when it wasn't considered a varsity team. Now among the next generation, we still have a few but in either in motorsports or baseball. Not one basketball and football player (darn it). Anyways when talk is about sports you know that it's about the Ateneo Blue Eagles (and the NBA and NFL). We had some special guests at the family reunion last night -- the Younghusbands! James, Phil and youngest sister Keri. My kids Matt and Anthony are also in the pic. Ants is wearing the Azkals jersey and you should see him play football (he plays the midfield and him being an Arsenal fan he's a playmaker who is inspired by Cesc Fabregas). And he is real good to boot. Matt for some reason I cannot fathom prefers to play goal keeper (no disrespect to GKs everywhere). My kids were thrilled to meet the brothers. Phil was saying that the only thing that was missing was a "#10" on Ants' jersey. Yep, he did watch the Suzuki Cup games. They also both love playing FIFA (as do I) on Playstation. Thanks to the Younghusbands! Happy New Year!
