Holiday Plans - second try!

Here is a post from 11/8 that no one replied to. Please review and sign up for Thanksgiving dinner items if you'll be in town!

Holiday Plans
At dinner on Sunday (November 7th) we discussed our Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. Here's the scoop:

Thanksgiving
* Thanksgiving plans: Mom and Dad, Corey and Coralee's family, Rob, Scott and Julie, and Randall and Kevin will be eating at Mom's house. (13 people; Mom invited Lee and Cheryl's family but they're busy.) Dinner will be served at 3:00 p.m. but you're welcome to come and hang-out whenever you want. Bring your Settlers or other games. Please reply or edit this post with what you would like to bring (the sooner the better).

Dinner
Turkey and Stuffing: Mom and Dad
Rolls and butter: Coralee
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy: Mom and Dad
Fruit/Jell-o salad: Mom and Dad (Randall)
Green Bean Casserole: Rob
Sweet potatoes: Coralee
Pies (coordinate flavor w/other pie person?): Julie (Apple pie)
Pies (coordinate flavor w/other pie person?): Coralee (Pumpkin and possibly another?)
Vanilla Ice cream: Julie
Whipped cream: Coralee
Drink: Mom and Dad (Kevin)

Christmas Eve
* Dinner will be at Laurie's per usual on Christmas Eve. The time will be announced and posted.
* Our collective vote was to bring items to Laurie's with which to do a gift exchange. Adult women and adult men would bring an appropriate gift for a person of the same sex (dollar amount to be determined). Children's gifts would be purchased by Mom, Cheryl and Laurie. However, since that was just our input, Dad and Mom will let us know what everyone in the extended family decides.

Christmas Day
* Christmas Day festivities will be at Mom and Dad's at 10:30 a.m. for those who will be in town.
* Christmas gift exchange will be done by exchanging sibling/spouse names. Cora will send Derek and Kiyomi an e-mail to see how they would like to be involved. The grandchildren will also exchange names. $20 gift for sibling exchange and $10 gift for grandchild exchange. Please reply whether this should be a secret exchange or an open exchange.
