Grant Wish List

So I just realized that Christmas is next week and everybody has probably already done their Christmas shopping, with the exception of myself. However, I thought I'd post a wish list anyway, in case somebody has as hard of a time christmas shopping as I do.

-Hoodie Sweatshirt (Large)
(Preferably one that isn't a zip up.)
(Preferably Blue)
-Blue Jeans (32X32)
-Banana Bread pans like like mom has (Thanks for reminding me Tiara)
-Big Mixing bowl
-Wisk
-Rubber spatula
-A big Cutting Board like Mom has
-New i-pod headphones
-Ties that didn't come out of the 80's or 90's ;)
And if somebody's feeling generous, I've been wanting a cheap digital camera.

Little Body, Big Mouth

I don't have my wishlist yet but thought you all might appreciate this story, reminiscent of cute young Ari and her innocent but embarrassing comments.

I was at Hobby Lobby on Wednesday, looking for frames. As we were walking down a certain aisle, we passed an obese woman and Lane loudly said "Mom, she has a baby in her tummy!" though she clearly did not. I tried to hurry away, not looking or responding and Lane took that to mean that I didn't hear her and said it even louder. If the woman didn't hear before, there was no mistaking this time.

And the fun is just beginning.

Christmas Present Exchange

Hi Gang! I've got the names put together for the Christmas present exchange for this year. Hopefully this gives you plenty of time to buy or make gifts at great deals and avoid the crazy Christmas rush at the stores. I've set this up in groups of two, so if you want to give gifts together that's great or if you would like to split it up, that's okay too. Have fun with it! I haven't set a dollar limit, so if you want one, let me know. Otherwise, let's just say to "keep it within your budget." Feel free to post gift ideas on the family blog.

Tiara-Deryck Engagement Photos

Near the pond- I think Tiara just liked the duck so she picked this picture.

Now you see the white trash trailer in the background,

now you don't! Smooth, huh?

She might send a few of these.

and maybe a few of these.
I think she was concerned about her braces showing in the picture. That's why she looks so serious. I told her she should have found a real photographer but she said she liked these, so whatever.

I love Tiara!
