Hello everyone. I hope this finds you doing well. As we get close to Thanksgiving next week, I just wanted to tell you I am thankful for each and every one of you!
After having some discussion with everyone, it appears that the weekend between Christmas and New Years will work for the Christmas gathering! Yea! I am guessing we will have the party on that Saturday, but we will iron those details out as it gets closer. The main thing is that we have a weekend that seems to work for all.
I have been asked to complete the kids' drawing of names so that everyone knows who they have prior to Black Friday. This year we have seven kids, with the addition of Katelyn, and six families. So, my suggestion is that we each can buy something for little Katelyn...that's the benefit of being the youngest! Here is how the drawing worked out:
Mom and Dad - Addy
Dave and Melissa - Emma
Bobbie and Kevin - Alex
Terry and Tammy - Jacob
Jill and David - Bella
Jeannie and Jason - Kade
I make this a legitimate drawing and this is how it worked out, but you are welcome to switch if you want to.
We will probably do a White Elephant again, unless someone has a new bright idea! Always open to suggestions.
Love you all bunches!

Bobbie...what would all of us Kriz's do without you and getting things going for us. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do that. I am so excited I finally get to come back home for Christmas this year, so looking foward to it. Just another White Elephant Type Idea...Ter and I purchased a bingo cage/balls and cards a few years ago. We play it on our family Christmas...each family brings about 3 - $5 gifts wrapped and those are the prizes. Then we do a couple bonus rounds like blackout where the winner receives and extra special gift of like $10 or $20 in cash. If you ever want to switch it up, we could sure bring this back to the farm. If you have food suggestions for each family to bring...let us know or if you need help with anything else. Hugs right back at ya!!
I love the bingo idea....maybe in addition to White Elephant!?! I think that sounds like a lot of fun. I shall bring Twister again as well, as long as we don't feed Terry anything that'll make him gassy before he plays! Ha.
See post above re: food!
VERY EXCITED for everyone to be home!
