CHRISTMAS LISTS
Before I send out the lists, I want some clearification.
Things we want to avoid?
giving to spouses
kids giving to one of their siblings
Right?
What about this situation with the kids list?
If I just rotate the list from last year, the families with many kids will be giving to almost the same cousins as last year with one cousin different. They will just be paired up differently.
Is this ok, or should I draw names and mix it up?
I did just rotate the siblings and spouses list and we don't have any spouse pairs, but I don't know if there are any repeated pairs from previous years. So please check for that when I send the list, of course only if that is another thing we want to try and avoid.
Thanks!
Remember the sooner you respond, the sooner I can finalize the lists and get them out. I would like to send them on Friday.
You should have also received this as an email, but thought I might catch some of you sooner here. Respond by either method.
Love you guys!

Happy Birthday Nagol!!
Ok, so it has been 3 weeks since the party, but here is the report.
Lots of family and friends and fun! I didn't get any pictures of the dinosaur egg hunt or the squirt gun fights or the unwrapping of the presents because I'm still not so used to remembering to take pictures of all the cute and fun stuff, or even to delegate it to someone else while I'm bossing everything else. Anyways it was all really fun! I was a little worried at first about planning it, b/c I don't remember very many little kid birthday parties, besides what B has done for her kids, specifically Buddy's from just a few weeks earlier. I didn't want to just copy, so I was really excited when I thought of the Dinosaur Egg Hunt because Nagol loved hunting for eggs at Easter time, and what kid doesn't like finding candy (in an egg or not) and getting to keep it!! Since it was a hot day, the squirt guns were very refreshing. (Thanks to those of you whom I bossed or just volunteered and helped out!!!)
Since the party Nagol has loved the squirt guns and using them to not just chase down and squirt Mom and Dad, but to squirt bugs and cars, and occasionally use them to pretend that it is raining.
And Grandma and Grandpa Hanky, Nagol appreciated the birthday card and especially the stickers! These pictures are actually from his second time playing with the stickers. The first time he had most of them along his arm from his wrist all the way under his sleeve to his shoulder.
One more thing along the line of stickers. Nagol has recently been calling the mountains dinosaurs and saying stuff like, "Look, that dinosaurs is poky!" The other day while driving up from Spanish Fork on the interstate and passing Y mountain, Semaj and I hear from the back seat, "That dinosaur has a sticker on it!"
