So this is Christmas Day at Grandmas and someone was brilliant and gave my dad a guitar. Haha then it was suggested he play Aunt Peg's favorite song Puff the Magic Dragon and then she ran into another room and hid. And by the way Taylor took this picture. Yup. Alright. Theres that one. And theres the one of the men in our family being the same. And they didnt realize it either. And then theres Christopher playing and singing too. Yup these are up here because my mom wanted me to do this. So there you go. Family Christmas time. Yay!

Ok Katie, here we go. Why don't you get Brad some jeans, he will wear trendy ones now because I made him get with the times, size 34 x 32. He needs some nice shirts that can be casual but dressy too. That is all I have for you, sorry.

so all im really good for on this is when i come to utah and put better pictures of chaela on here. yup. and i would like to say: yay for being done with school for the next four months!!!! woo!!! then im off to california for those of you who dont know. not that it matters. but i have a job out there. yes. yes i do and it will be glorious. ok so i dont like talking about myself. so ill start rambling on about other things. its after one and caitlyn and i are still up just kind of sitting around. shes been watching a movie and ive been packing/downloading music. were both leaving the house in about 5 hours. haha and she still has finals to study for. oh well. ok. thats good for now. ill see all of you soon. yay!

Hello family! It is 1:30 am-ish here in Utah and I would just like to announce that I am DONE with all of the schoolwork I've been putting off since Chaela was born. I did about half a semester's worth of work TODAY. Oh yes. I can have a baby AND do all my homework. Oh! AND I sold our contract for our apartment (we're moving into our friend's basement- bigger, nicer, same price, and Chaela will have a yard to play in)!!!!! Yes, all in one day. I must say that I am amazing. Also kind of loopy because I've typed about 20 pages worth of BS in the past 12 hours and now I must go to bed so I can wake up at 4 and feed the baby. Joy! I miss you all and just wanted to update you on my life! Lovely.

Hi Everyone!

I finally have gotten with it. This is a great idea!

For me, I can never have enough Ott lights. Caitlyn gave me 2 little ones that I use all the time and can take with me to quilt class. There are also standing and table lamps that I would love for my quilting room. I've seen them at Penney's home department and at Jo-Ann, among other places. I would put them all over the house if I could.

Thank you!

Amy

Hey Peg, what about Brad is there something he is wanting for Christmas this year? I can get some coal from my garage! Ha Ha!
Liza, nice to hear from you! How is school going? When do you get home? Kristin and Lindsay are having finals as I write this and Caitlyn has hers next week.
See you all at Christmas.

Sorry that I haven't posted yet, I've been busy with college!

I would really like a set of snowboarding gloves. Here is the website that you can order them off of. If possible, I would like the True Black color, but any of the four would be just fine.

As I think of other things, I will write them down. Happy Holidays!

I gotta tell ya, I think this blog was the best idea. I am done with both of my persons and they get what they want. YIPPEE!

Everyone may ignore the below post, he obviously doesn't realize he has no choice. We all have our rolls, no pun intended, in family feasts and he is well aware of his.

And since Big Kath has been bragging about her ability to make B&Gs, I think this christmas she should get the chance to show us all.

i have less than no clue what i want.

i spose, however, that since i am one of the guys it doesn't really matter!

oh and i have decided i am not gonna make the homemade rolls this christmas or the gravy. i am feelin' lazy.

Erin's List...are you listening Santa?

Ok, here goes...
Hairspray DVD (2 Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)
Gift cards from any of these places would work: JCrew, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Gap, Target, Ticketmaster, HomeGoods
Waitress DVD
License to Wed DVD
any other new romantic comedies that are out... I haven't bought any new movies in a while, except for Because I Said So, I think that's the last one I bought...If you're not sure I have something, ask Molly, she's got most of my movies at school
Subscription to any of these mags: InStyle, Real Simple, Cottage Living, Country Home, Chicago Magazine, Blueprint
A Scene It game, the music edt. or tv edt. or the 2nd movie edt.
any other fun games
I could use some warm fleecy/soft socks (I'd rather have those than slippers)
I kind of want Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume, I really like it, but it would be a big chunk of my gift, so if you can find a good deal on it, go for it, otherwise, I think I would rather have a bunch of smaller things or a gift card from somewhere
That's all I can think of, but I think that's plenty to choose from, I hope...Surprise me!

HEY NOW, that was just not right! If you have my name you best buy me double to make up for it.

HO HO HO (no this is not specifically to Peggy) its beginning to look alot like Christmas! We are getting much snow!

Doug gave me his long list this morning for you who might have his name (you know who you are) He wants an Illini Hat and an Orvis gift card. He is so imaginative. Oh, and some sweet young thing to do his every bidding.

i now have the power.

i have been helped.

you must now send me all your monies.

the end.

Someone please help your uncle dickie. I think we need to send him an invite to post or something and I have no idea what he needs. He made a comment to my post.

Hello hello hello, its me again. I finally figured out something I want. I am completely out of perfume and found the greatest new scent. Versace Bright Crystal. For a 3oz size it is $82 at Macys. Not sure if you can get it other places or not. I spritzed myself with it when I was just in the mall and man do I smell HOT!!!

Okay that's weird, I guess I was not erased!

I just tried to post and got erased! How rude!
I thought of a few things to add to my list. I like warm fuzzy socks to wear around the house, I wear them instead of slippers. I also like hot cocoa!
If anyone still needs ideas for Jordan, he needs some long sleeved t-shirts. Doug has given me no ideas, but I am still working on him.
Well I will try to post again and see what happens!

It's nice to see more people posting!
I have something to add to my list too, warm fuzzy socks to wear around the house, I tend to wear socks instead of slippers. I like hot cocoa too.
Doug won't give me any ideas for him so sorry! I'll keep working on him. If anyone still needs ideas for Jordan, he needs some long sleeved t-shirts.
I still need ideas for Tori, Taylor, and Cade.
Thanks!

Ok, apparently I am our family's designated blogger...well, for the girls anyway, I have no idea what Kevin & my dad want, but mom & molly keep telling me to add to their lists, so here goes.
Molly really wants a pair of Ugg Dakota Slippers in Coffee, size 8. They have them right now at Zappos.com, but only have 3 pairs left it says. They also have them at Nordstrom.com and uggaustralia.com, but neither of those are in stock, they're scheduled to ship on 12/28. So..anyway, I think that's all for now.

Love all the new pics...she's so darn cute!
Nobody's really posted much as far as christmas lists, except the Ohio Mc kids...come on people, I know there are things you want for Christmas!!
Well, Kath's got something else to add to her list...The Jersey Boys Soundtrack CD and slippers, size 8.
Some things on my list:
Hairspray DVD
JCrew or a Barnes & Noble gift card is always a safe bet
Oh...the License to Wed DVD
Ok, that's all for now.
