Thank you everyone!

We would like to thank everyone for all their hard work in contributing to the sucess of our Thanksgiving festivities!! It just wouldn't have been as good if everyone did not bring their wonderful food, drinks, dips, etc and participate so willingly. We really enjoyed seeing everyone over the long weekend and especially the grandkids! We are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas. We are blessed in so many ways and Thanksgiving is just one of the days we can acknowledge that. Love, Dad (Mike) and Mom (Jeanne)

Cookie Night

Are all the girls still planning on getting together before Christmas to do Cookie Night? Was everyone wanting to do the jars again this year or make cookies/treats? If we do the jars again we could make them anytime before Christmas. If we decide to make the goodies then we should probably plan it closer to Christmas. What does everyone think? When can everyone get together?
