Christmas is Coming

So thanks to Rachel's reminder I have been hard at work this week on next year's family calendar.  It is shaping up nicely and I look forward to sharing it with you all.  I find that deadlines are coming up rather quickly and so the calendar may be a bit late getting out this year.  I am optimistic that I will be able to pull everything together but I apologize in advance if this does happen.  Silver lining is that there is still time for last minute photo entries to be made if there are new photos you would like to have included.

I have had several people ask me about Christmas gifts that I would like this year and to simplify getting the word out (these are just ideas for those who want them) here is my up-to-date wishlist.  Yes it is an Amazon.com wishlist but I am sure these items can be found in other places for those who, like me, prefer to shop locally.  I also would like to throw out there the idea, possibly for next year, about doing a gift exchange system for the siblings.  As you all keep making me new nieces and nephews (which I love) the gift list is getting longer every year.  Perhaps we can just do one bigger gift for one sibling instead a gift for each.  Just a thought so any feedback, positive or negative, is welcome.
