Christmas Day!!!

I just wanted everyone to know that Dennis and I are bringing pumpkin pies, plates, napkins, silverware (plastic, of course), and buns for the sandwiches that Jacie is making (if that's still the menu).

It's so hard to believe that today here in Fargo, it was 50 degrees!!! There's no snow on the ground, so please pray that the trip home next weekend will be clear. I'm excited to see everyone!!!

Jason's List

I'm not looking for anything in particular, but some random possibilities include:

Large hooded sweatshirts. (Need a big hood to fit over my ginormous head)

T-shirts (also large, as I'm not getting any smaller here)

Skull rings (who doesn't need those)

Anything else

Ok, that's about all I can think of. See you all at Christmas!

Bob's/Dad's year round list

Jeans, 30 - 32

The board game Munchkin

The computer game "Skyrim"

Jeremy's List

Hi there. This will be quick... I don't like or want anything!






But since I'm sure you ALL feel obligated to get me something, I guess normal stuff works. You know, book store gift cards, Magic cards (standard legal stuff- they'll know what you mean). Pajama pants and plain non-white t-shirts. Love you all, see you soon!

Monica's List

* I like the usual office supplies (notebooks, pens, binders, etc)

* CDs: Statler Brothers gospel music, Shania Twain, Judds, John Anderson, Alan Jackson, country

* gloves...it's cold here in ND

* picture frames (white, oak, or black), not fancy, prefer the plain type

* kitchen towels (greens, blues, purples)

* Suave body wash (fruity scents, not flower)

* Biggest Loser "Quick & Easy" cookbook

* Games for WII

Jacie's list

I suppose I should do this, but my basic list doesn't change.

PJ's
Octopus stuff
sweatshirts
book gift cards

The only thing I might add to this is maybe a gift certificate to a home brewing store, this is the local store I would normally pick up stuff from, however this is supposed to be a great mail order brewing supply store. I don't exactly know what I want from a brewing store, but a gift certificate might help with getting into all grain brewing next year or ingredients for a batch, or even buy a wort chiller with it.

Nadine and Jeremy are having trouble signing in and being able to post their own lists so I'll be doing it for them.

Mary's Christmas List

Yes, It IS way too late to post a Christmas list.

I am very much into my doll collecting now. So fabrics and bits of lace or ribbon trim are fun for me right now.

Here are some links to things I'd love to get, even if they don't get here by Christmas:

Because my dolls need cats:

Accessories...  All.. kind of in the bottom quarter:

 2006 ACCESSORIES - CATS MARIONETTE
MICK AND ZACH, LEEANN'S CATS.


OR.. Ellowyne's cat Sybil because I think she's a hoot.

And always..  Shoes, shoes, shoes.  Because I can make clothes, but I can't make shoes.

But, patterns are probably easier to find:
I don't have any of these and I love them all.  I can use 14" KISH or ELLOWYNE

BUT all of that said, I am sure I will love anything that any of you thinks fits for me.. I still love my plush possum :)

I hope I'm doing this posting thing right. As much as I want to be there, we are pretty sure we won't be in WA for Thanksgiving. It's only fair that we spend at least one holiday with Gina, Stacy and their families.

Dennis told Royal that we want off from Dec 23rd thru Jan 3rd, so plan on us being there for Christmas! I haven't been apart from my kids yet for the holiday since they were born, and I'm not about to start now! :) Dispatch put the info on their calendar and said we were the only ones so far to give them dates. We are NOT planning on taking the truck out to WA, but driving our car instead. Though Dennis wants me to check airlines to see what the cost would be. I guess we would rent a car once in WA then. We'll see!

I hope everyone is thinking about their wish lists. LOVE YOU ALL!

Waking up!

Good Morning!

Waking up the Dearing Family Holiday Pages a little bit early this year.

OF COURSE..  we have to start with the formal annual greeting from Jason:



Thank you, Jason.  As always, an eloquent statement!

After that..  well..  what more can there possibly be left to say ?

Except maybe...

Paighton's Birthday
Nadine's Birthday
Dennis' Birthday...    when/how to do we celebrate all these special family members?

When/How do we want to observe Thanksgiving?

And the star on the top of the tree..  CHRISTMAS! 

So..  discuss !  comment! comment!!  Love you all!  Mary
