...The Geese are Getting Fat


Ah, Christmastime!!!

So, in the spirit of gluttony and greed, here are the results of the annual name draw:

Amy=> Randa
Dan => Jeff
Katie => Dan
Dana => Amy
Sally => Dana
Jeff => Sally
Randa => Katie



And I guess, as usual, Mom has everyone and only wants to give more to other people in return. :)

So, I guess we'll figure out later when and where we'll see each other, but the important thing (duh, presents) is settled. jk! Love you all.

Wooow! We got Dana and Amy! nice.
I'm glad to hear that we will be seeing you all at some point. Probably with S.O.'s.

Randa- you are welcome before Thanksgiving too if you like. Just know that the closer the day gets, the more stressed and busy I'll be preparing to have the big dinner here at our house. and don and shirley will be arriving at some point also.

Yuck what do you want for Christmas? Don't make me get you something boring like a book you have plenty of them.

Hey we should have one of those cakes with a plastic baby inside. You know what I'm talking about if not ask Eter.

Emma updated her blog. I'm telling you per her request "or else I won't get any comments."

Sally said...

Yuck, I definitely won't be asking for a book. I'll start looking around...

I haven't figured out what exactly I'll be doing and when yet either. Eter wants to spend Christmas at his house. It's kind of his last one at home, in a sense. And his birthday is the 26th. So, not sure where I'll be... you?

sal- you can't deprive my life from seeing a cake with a plastic baby inside. won't he reconsider? And why would this be his last Christmas at home?...even in a sense?

I'm kind of thinking I'll be in AZ for Christmas and Carrie will fly down the day after.

Amy said...

yea! jeffy...come one come all please!

Sally said...

I think it's really important to him to be there this year. His mom is starting to feel lonely because his older brother got married and they all have girlfriends now. And assuming all the paperwork goes through, he won't be living in Mexico this time next year. So, that's how it's the last Christmas really at home. But we could maybe come out before or after. Or maybe we'll spend it apart and just be together for New YEars or something. It'll depend on what his work is like too, I'm sure.

Mom said...

I just had a talk with Grampa and told him I'm not leaving him alone on Christmas Day and that I'll likely go to AZ the day after and stay for about 3 days. He's thinking maybe he can get Nate or Mat or someone to come be with him for those days.
So that's where I'm at. I think it's good for Eter to be home with his mom too! We can have a family get together without it having to be ON Christmas Day. We'll just
s-t-r-e-t-c-h it out....like the April birthdays!

Sally said...

Do you mean the February birthdays?

Kate said...

I think she means that Amy and I try to stretch our b-days out for the whole month. But I can attest to the fact that Feb. birthdays actually do really go on and on and on.
