The geese are getting fat, but hopefully now that our Halloween candy is finally gone I won't be.

With my little helpers Sadie and Campbell drawing names for me, I have the results of the adult Christmas exchange!

Dan-Dana
Amy-Miranda
Dana-Carrie
Katie-Jeff
Eter-Amy
Sally-Katie
Jeff-Eter
Carrie-Bubba
Bubba-Sally
Miranda-Dan

This is so exciting to have some new people. Yeah! We love our new people. They're awesome!
Unfortunately, the child gift exchange is as boring as always (although we do love the boring grandchildren too). A little more fun there next year maybe :)
Also, if anyone knows their Christmas plans please put them in the comments. It'd be great if we could all be together for a day or two :)

Is no one seeing this or no one commenting?

Amy said...

Oh good I see that you took on the job again...Thank you!!!!

Mom said...

I plan to be here on Christmas day and then try to get to AZ maybe the next day and stay for a couple. It may depend a bit on Nancee's plans too...I haven't talked to her yet.

Kate said...

Mom- Kristy told me Nancee and fam are coming out here to her house for Thanksgiving. Did you know that?

Miranda said...

Mom knows about Nancee.
Bubbs and I are planning to be at mom's for Thanksgiving and then we will leave on the long drive to Dallas around the 19th heading back around the 26th. Some chance of stoping in Az in one direction-it adds about 5 hours to the ridiculous drive.
Love you all.

Mom said...

Nancee told me the other day that she's going there...probably their whole family will be there, so they won't be having TD with you, but might want to get together at some point.
We'll be having a quiet TD, probably just Miranda and Bubba, and maybe Sally and Eter..?

Kate said...

well little momma?

Carrie said...

Our Christmas plans for the time being are that we'll come to Arizona on Christmas night, December 25th (not to be confused with Christmas Eve). We'll be around all Sunday and Monday and leave on Tuesday morning.

This isn't finalized yet we both have to check to see if we can get the time off from work. Who else would be there during those days?

Sally said...

It took me like a whole minute of confusion as to why you were asking Mom what she thinks again when she just told you before I realized maybe little momma was me?
We should know a little more hopefully on Monday. Eter's job called on Friday, but unfortunately he had his phone downstairs, and we didn't hear the message until about 8 pm. It just said to call them back.
So, he'll talk to them tomorrow, and hopefully we'll have a start date and maybe a holiday schedule. I doubt he'll really be able to ask for time off, but maybe they get time off already?
I assume he'll have Thanksgiving day off, so it kind of hinges on Friday. If they get Friday off as well, we'll come to AZ. If it's only Thurs, we'll head up to mom's and hang out with those folks.
Sorry we're still holding up everyone's planning. We're trying! Let you know as soon as we find out.

yes, me too sal she did mean you. That sounds great it doesn't really change much one way or the other.

Tatum Olivia-Mae said...

that was me Amy

Kate said...

It sounds like we may all be together during like the 26th, 27th, 28th. Ahh that'll be so fun!

Miranda said...

We I won't be there, so we won't All be together.

Amy said...

ohhhh, it looked like you were saying that was possible to stop on the 26th on the way back?

Kate said...

Rand- I thought you were saying you could come to AZ before or after. So I was choosing after but if you cant, you guys will be missed.

Miranda said...

We might stop in one direction or the other. It's 5 hours added to the drive to stop in Az instead of NM. But we would like to, but it would probably be either around the 21st or 28th.
Hope we'll get to see you sometime soon.

Jeff Giles said...

If everyone is going to be there on a particular day we should take a family photo.

Amy is there going to be a time when everyone is there? I'm asking you so that you feel obligated to figure it out.

Miranda said...

I humbly request we put off the family photo till I am finaly married. So there is no awkwardness about who is ir isnt officially in the fam. I have good hopes that this event is not too far off. I crave just a bit more of your patience please.

Amy said...

Sally and I a agree (she is here with me) and she will have a new baby next year too! So I pass the buck for 1 more year....
