Holiday Plans
A few things I'm curious about:
1. What is everyone's plan for Thanksgiving? How about Christmas? New Years? Julie and I will be taking Stanley to Boise for Christmas, but will spend Thanksgiving in town and probably New Years, too.
2. What is going to be the setup for Christmas gifts? Are we going to do the usual random selection thing? Maybe this year we can all just pool our resources and choose one family member to give big huge gift to. Then the next year we can choose another person. Maybe I can get the first year's gift. Then if it doesn't seem like a good idea, we can go back to the old way. Just an idea. You just have to try new things in this life, you know?
3. When are we all planning to meet next? That makes it sound like a city council meeting...When are we going to get together next as a family? Maybe next Sunday (November 6)?
I guess that's it. I feel bad, Mom and Pop--Julie and I didn't wish either of you a happy birthday! Happy Birthday!
Also, Happy Birthday, Shannon! Sorry for not remembering that, either. To think that the blog was born out of the idea that if we had a place where birthdays were listed, it would be really easy to remember everyone's birthday! Now if each day when there is a birthday I could get a reminder to go to the blog and find out whose birthday it is...yeah, so I just need to remember better.
Ok, enough.

Dawn and Robyn are going to be in Indiana over Thanksgiving, so I could use a family to hang out with. I figure ours is as good as any.
Anyone want to take in a poor wayfarer for T-Giving?
1. Shannon, the girls, and I are scheduled to travel to Sinclair, Wyomin' to join her family at her brother Tim's house there for Thanksgiving. We'll probably be gone Thurs. thru Fri. afternoon, with a 60% chance of lingering until Saturday, according to the latest computer models. As far as Christmas goes... we'll be staying here in Utah but I'm not sure at whose place we will be at what time. Our New Year's plans are also up in the air, but I think Shannon and I are probably going to do something for our anniversary on or around the 27th. (Duh.)
2. I like Scott's idea for Christmas gifts a lot, and I think he should be the first one to start with since it was his idea. But here's one teeny weeny modification: the person whose year it is should give a big huge gift to everyone else in the family, instead of the other way around. Scott, I think I speak for all of us when I say we appreciate your selflessness in volunteering! And definitely, if it doesn't work out this year we can go back to the old way.
3. Yeah, when and where to meet next? I propose we all meet at Derek and Kiyomi's new place; none of us have seen their new digs yet, and it is ramen season over there. Dad, can you swing something for us? :)
