Promotion

Tim and I are so very excited. Tim got a promotion at work. He is now head of the internal estimation department. He does the estimating for all the dealership cars that come into the shop.

This is a huge blessing for our family.

Happy Holidays everyone!

News to me


I know I am writing this post while upset, so I will end up hurting some feelings, but at the moment, I really don't care.

First, I am not the only one who did not know there was a rotation. I would think that if there was a rotation for the Christmas party, everyone would know about it.

Also, I thought that everyone would be excited about a craft white elephant exchange since most of the family blogs I read are about the crafts that someone is working on.

So, fine. Y'all do your own thing. Whatever

Next Years Family Christmas Party

Tim and I have put ourselves in charge of the Christmas Party next year.

You will of course get more information come October or Novemeber, but we wanted you to be prepared.

Next Christmas our white elephant exchange will be slightly different.

The kids will have their own goody bags to keep them occupied while the adults have the exchange, so parents, you do not need to bring a white elephant for your kids. (this was a great idea that Heidi came up with this year. If you find cute little stuff you would like to add to the goodie bags, you are more than welcome to bring them!)

It is good that the kids won't be participating in the white elephant exchange becuase the gifts have to be homemade or homebaked!

We do this in relief society every year and it is always amazing stuff.

So, you all have a whole year to decide, and make, your white elephant gift for next year!
