YAY!! The goose is getting fat!!! (As in, Christmas is coming...) So here are the plans for the holidays so far: Wednesday the 22nd of December, all the adults will be going to the Savior of the World production at the Conference center in SLC. I think we should get together for a nice dinner together beforehand, too, and make time to enjoy the lights on Temple Square. It shouldn't be terribly crowded since it's a weeknight. We'll figure out what we'll do with the chillins later. It's gonna be AWESOME though!!
And I fulfilled my lifelong dream (not really) of purchasing Nativity costumes for what will now be our annual pageant. There are 5 animals and some robes for wisemen, angels, Mary, etc. I guess I'm Mary this year (this goose is getting fat, too!).:) We're going to have fun adding some embellishments and headpieces for the presenataion, but it is also going to be AWESOME!!! I am planning on doing this program sometime Christmas Eve (at Nick and Meadow's or possibly Tessa's?), but we will have to coordinate so that it works with everyone's plan. (like the Terry's). Just get all your last-minute errands done EARLY so we can relax and have a nice dinner and program by 6pm on Christmas Eve, and Santa Noel wil be really nice to you all.:)
I think a great tradition to start would be for each family to do at least one musical presentation for the program, also. You are all so talented, and hearing your beautiful voices, etc., is better than any other gift I can imagine. We could also sing to the Grandparents if we get the chance to see them, and they would LOVE it. Oooohh- Tessa has these bells...and our primary is doing a program with ringing the bells to a few carols..I'll see if I can get the "recipe" for the bell carols. It sounds really cool and the kids would love it!
And then whatever for Christmas morning. Corey and Z and I will probably be staying at the Partridges, so we can meet up, or whatever.
So for the rotation, here is who has who this year. And I think we all understand that none of us are millionaires quite yet, so please don't be stressed about spending much. Just don't let us see you in new $100 jeans you bought yourself after you gave us a crummy fruitcake! JK, but you know. :)
Noelle and Corey--Missy and Adam
Nick and Meadow--Mikey
Natalie and Ryan--Noelle and Corey
Missy and Adam--Nick and Meadow
Mike--Nat and Ryan
Corey and I will be going to Idaho sometime later that week to spend New Year's with his family, and we fly out on the 3rd.
Can't wait to see you all!!!!
