Holiday Plans
At dinner on Sunday 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).

Vanilla Ice cream:
Whipped cream:
Drink:
Something else?:
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.
NOTE: PLEASE POST your Christmas wish list to the Ignatzes blog even if you've already given it to Mom. This is not only so Mom knows what you want but also so others who may be buying for you will know what to get for you. Just think of it: you can even provide a link with a picture - no more guessing! Wish lists for each member of the family are due by Saturday the 13th.
