Congratulations Claire!!
We just want to let everyone know, that Claire was baptized and confirm on Dec. 6th, by her dad. Sorry, these aren't the best pictures, we forgot our camera. These were taken on Bonnies' cell phone. I was going to have Rebecca e-mail me some, but since I waited so long to get this Christmas information on the blog, I'll just put these on for now.
These pictures don't do her justice, she looked beautiful. I'll try to get pictures from Rebecca.
Sorry, this is my first time putting in pictures and I'm not sure how to get them the way I want them to look.
I can't believe Christmas is in just a couple of days. Merry Christmas everyone! I'm sure everyone knows most of this information, but just in case you don't.
We will be getting together Christmas Eve, at 5:00 p.m., at Janet's house. I think everyone knows what food they are bringing. If you have a question call Janet. As far as gifts, the older kids voted to do the white elephant gift. This is suppose to be just something funny from your home. If a couple wants to bring two gifts, they get two gifts. But if you only want to bring one gift, that's fine too. You just take one gift home. We won't be doing grandma gifts for this age group that night.
If you have children 12 yrs and under in your home, bring a grandma (great-grandma) gift for them to open. If you have a baby, you decide if you want to bring a gift that night, or put the money towards something else.

This year we won't be getting together on Christmas Day, until 5:00, to give you more time to enjoy your Christmas gifts or visit other family. We will be having a potato bar for dinner that night and play some games. If you get a fun new game or have one, bring it to play.
As far as activites for after Christmas, we thought we would plan 3: ice skating, bowling and sledding. We talked about maybe doing something before Christmas, since Alan & family are leaving on Friday for California. But they have shopping to do and I'm sure we're all trying to finish things up. I guess we'll end up planning this on Christmas day as usual.
