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
