Plans Update

Just to update you on a few things:

-Cramers are definitely coming over on Tuesday at 7 for dessert- you are all welcome to come over for dinner before that- I will hopefully be home around 5

-Aunt Mimi is having us over for lunch on Thursday, not dinner. If anyone needs to do last minute shopping we could do it after that!

-We were thinking that for the pictures if everyone could wear a solid not too bright sweater, not showing too much skin (that means you Sean) it would be fine. So pack accordingly!

Just so you know, it's cold, snowy and very Christmas-y here! I think we'll have a white Christmas!

Another Christmas wish

Because I know I didn't put enough wishes on my other list...I would like Garth Brooks: The Limited Series . Its a box set that is only at Wal-Mart and Sam's club, and only for a limited time. I know its country music, so that might rule it out for some of you...but if you were still looking for something, its a thought.

Can't wait to see you guys!

I was going to post a picture, but I don't know how :(

Plans for Christmas

Hey Everyone!

I might not come home until Tuesday early, most likely. I would rather not wear black sweaters for the picture...One, i don't have one, and two, i don't look good in them. All solid color sweaters would be better, I think...a similar style I think would be better. But I can bring just about whatever I have got so we will have choices. For the rest of the plans, it all sounds pretty good to me. Taryn, are you and Todd doing stockings at your place first, or just coming over to Mom and Dad's? Are you coming back there after the Christmas eve service, or are we going to your place, or what?

Any other ideas for presents for anyone? If you want clothes, give me a size. Back to studying for now.

See you all soon!

Plans for Next Week

Hello Family,

I just wanted to know what everyone's plans are for next week. Courtney and Marissa are both arriving Monday, right?

Here are some things I had in mind:

Tuesday evening: Dinner at my house- mom has a game. Then I am inviting the Cramers over for dessert because they want to see all of you and our house

Wednesday evening: Pictures at JC Penney- we need to decide on what to wear before you all pack. We were discussing maybe blac sweaters/shirts- wear any style you want, or maybe just all solid sweaters. Let me know what you think

Thursday evening: Dinner with the Knox family- I think at our house but I'm not sure.
I also took a half day that day so I was wondering if Courtney and Marissa wanted to meet me for lunch that day downtown or something. We can do any last minute shopping then!

Friday evening: Courtney and Sean are going out with friends, so if you have friend plans then maybe Friday dinner is a good time. I took the day off so we can get together during the day.

Saturday: Cooking, having fun, wrapping presents and going to church in the evening

Sunday: Christmas! Todd and I will be coming over at 8am so if we could do stockings then it would be great! We don't care if you want to come downstairs and start baking the cinnamon twists and stuff. Ives and Ernisses coming over later in the day, dinner (I think Turkey) later in the day.

That's the stuff I know about, let me know what you think!

I can't wait to see all of you (and I know Mom and Dad are counting down the days)!

Nothing exciting to report

So I was hoping to wait for something interesting to report, but things have been pretty slow around here! I had 4 patients scheduled this morning, 2 cancelled and 2 didn't bother to show up, so I'm pretty bored at work. Todd and I were planning on starting our Christmas shopping tonight and go out to dinner, but we're expecting a snowstorm so we'll have to play it by ear. So if you have thought of anything else to add to your Christmas list, you should add it now (Sean Purcell).

So let me update you on the not-so-exciting events of our suburban life. Pixie's training is going slow, as expected. This morning she pooped on our entry mat while we shoveled out the cars. This is progress because it means she tried to get to the front door, but she just couldn't wait for us to let her out. The other morning she pooped in her cage, but we didn't know it. She just refused to get out and was laying on the poop because she was ashamed. This is progress because it means she knows it's wrong! I knew you'd all like to hear about that. Maybe when Gabe is potty training Courtney can give us daily updates.

Todd's new band, Canadian Tuxedo, is performing at their first "gig" on Saturday, which is Jason's wife Tina's birthday party (in case you don't know what a Canadian Tuxedo is, I'm posting a picture). We'll let you know how it goes. Tomorrow we're going to get our Christmas tree, which should be fun! I'll take some pictures of our house so those of you that haven't seen it since the renovations can take a look.

My foot is slowly improving, not quite as purple as it used to be, although I still can't move it much. It really puts a damper on wearing fun holiday outfits when I have to wear this giant boot.


Hope you are all enjoying the Holidays! By the way I made a compilation Christmas CD using all our favorite CDs. Let me know if you want a copy!
