Hey, I think it is too late to pick names for Christmas (someone in this family has already gotten something for everyone...ps--it isn't me) so, are we all just giving to each other this year? anybody doing the calendar?
ALSO-- what are some things people are dying to get for Christmas? I need some ideas!

Holiday Plans and Other Plans
Great idea, Beebs, to post our plans. We are 99% sure that Meredith's adoption will be complete within the next 2 weeks, so we're planning to have her sealed to us on the 14th at the Twin Falls Temple (where Scott's dad is a sealer, so he'll be performing the ordinance). We'll then spend all day Sunday in Sugar City and have a nice family dinner. It's not a lot of time to spend with family, but it's all the time we've got.
Mom and Dad are coming for Thanksgiving, as well as maybe Kyle and Linzi (are you?) Scott will be taking Ethan off into the wild for the vacation, and I am so looking forward to a relaxing time with Omi and Opa, lots of board games, crafts, and good food. And of course Noah and Meredith can't wait to be adored by their loving grandparents :)
We're not sure of our Christmas plans yet, maybe DC (but we were so bummed to hear that we'll miss Kim and Val, who will be in Sugar City!) We'd try to get to Idaho, but the flights are so tricky at that time of year, and add in the bad weather, well it's a good chance we'd get stuck. We'll see.
I'd love to hear what everyone else is planning!

Holiday plans
Anybody want to post their holiday plans so we are all on the same page?
For your info: We have invited Hilary and the Barkers for Thanksgiving. For Christmas we will be here in Utah, but hope to have the KandV Browns to stay for awhile.

MEMORIZATIONS
Dad and I were talking on our way back from Salt Lake and came up with an idea you may be interested in. We propose that everyone in the family over about 6 could participate in memorizing some valuable quotations and poetry. An example would be the Preamble to the Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, the I Have a Dream speech, the Declaration of Independence, I Will Fight No More Forever, Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural Address, the 10 Commandments, the Beatitudes, the Charity scripture, Washington's Farewell address, etc. Would you be in favor of making it a sort of contest (not one where only one person wins, but where everyone who can recite it gets a certificate) with a different memorization monthly? What do you think? Are there other quotes you would like to include? Maybe one scripture and one secular quote per month? Let us know your ideas!
