It's Never Too Early!!!

Hey everyone,
While we are in the midst of an August heatwave, I just thought I would touch base with you all regarding Christmas 2008!
This year I hope to be having my dinner on December 24 so that all of our 'inlaws' can have the opportunity to spend actual Christmas Day with their families as well.
If this plan works for everyone(Shannon, Brody and Sheena) then I plan to alternate from now on.
Also, just a reminder that this year our theme is all adult gifts are to be handmade or second hand!!

I will be emailing you privately as to who you will be purchasing/creating for!!!

If you can, please leave a comment HERE as I welcome your feedback!!!

Love,
Mumica!

A great time was had by all!

I really enjoyed Christmas this year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for sharing the day with me and for my wonderful gifts!Whenever I am in your company I am always so very proud of all of you. I am truly blessed!
The highlight of my day was sharing the cooking duties with my mother. I learned so much wisdom from her about 'loving the ones you are with" and "not stressing the small stuff." It really helped me enjoy the day with everyone. Can't wait until next year and speaking of that have a wonderful HEALTHY 2008! Let's all meet back here next year.
Until then just know that I love you all more than you could ever know!!!
