It's Official!

After many weeks of discussion and planning, it is official that Kelly, Tica, the boys and Stan and Shirley will be here for Christmas. We have never in 15 years hosted a Christmas before so it will be very exciting. It will be fun to have "little" kids in the house who believe in Santa. The boys are already talking about how convincing they are going to be and how much fun they are planning. The trip will be short as Kelly and Tica will be returning home on the 26th to celebrate with her family. Our hope is to convince Stan and Shirley to stay a few extra days.

I guess I better start thinking about a Christmas dinner - thankfully I will have Shirley - such a great cook - assisting, as I'm sure popcorn and a movie won't due for our company.

With a visit from Jessica, the girls and mom and dad in October and a visit from the rest of the fam in December, our Fall is full and we are so looking forward to it.

Last but certainly not least - HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!!!!!! We love you

You might actually enjoy not having popcorn for Christmas dinner. How awesome that you'll have family with you this year. The boys may like it soooo much they'll want to do it every year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY

Love to all

We are soooo EXCITED and can hardly wait to see you on December 23rd!!!! It will be so much fun with the little ones and Sterling & Kaeden helping make it fun for them. Thank you for the compliment re: being a great cook BUT I know with all our helpful hands - we will have a delicious Christmas dinner. I know a cherry pie will be on the menu for sure and hopefully everyone will put down their favorites and we'll try and accommodate - dad's will be pumpkin pie.

You will have a very busy household in the next few months but also a fun time together with family which means so much to everyone.

I'm having a wonderful, wonderful birthday today and feel very special being thought of lots!!

BIG HUGS TO ALL!
