Our Disneyland annual pass ran out on December 7th so on December 5th we had our last hoorah at Disneyland. It is beautiful this time of year; by far my favorite. Mom, Daniel, Rachelle, Ammon, and Grandma and Grandpa Harvie came. 
I recently gave a talk in our stake conference where I shared a personal story of a mistake I made in my pre-school years. The short version of the story... I saw a package of scoring pencils in a store and wanted the pencils. When my mother refused to buy them for me I decided to "cleverly" put the package in the waistband of my shorts and pull my T-Shirt down so that they could not be seen. We left that store and walked over to a grocery store. As I was walking up and down the aisle with my mom the pencils worked their way loose from the package and began dropping through my shorts and onto the floor. My mother made me pick up the pencils and we walked back to the store where I had taken them so that I could confess to the store owner.
My point in telling the story was that even even though I was too young (around 3 or 4 years old) to fully understand the seriousness of the mistake, I still remember the look my mother gave me and the difficulty in confessing the mistake to the store owner. (Moral: There is always a price to be paid... the easiest life is a sin-free life.)
Well... about two weeks later the stake began road show rehearsals. The YSA branch did a parody on that talk depicting the misadventures of "Prahn Rice." In the talk I mentioned that I suppose I wanted to keep the small pencils because they "fit in my chubby little fingers." Hence, the title of the roadshow... "Chubby Little Fingers"
So.... with Jarom Price starring as his repentant father "Prahn Rice"... we present "Chubby Little Fingers"

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward,Secretary of State
