Up Date

The girls Christmas party turned out great. We had a good time but missed Mom, Aunt Ellen, Jayme, and Kristy. But we had added guests. Total there were about 12 or so of us. We're having the cousin's Christmas gift exchange at Bo and Cass's house tomorrow. It should be fun. The Nay family party is at Becca's house on the 17th and the Ray's party is at Kristy's house on the 22nd. Both of which we will attend. Mckall and I are going to the Nutcracker this Tuesday night and this Thursday the whole family is gathering up and going to Temple Square and then Bountiful to put a Christmas Tree at the cemetery for Casey. Shane and I are going to the Roof in a couple of weeks with couples from our ward and then seeing the lights again. It's going to be a fun filled December. It all will come to a head when all of Shane's family comes December 23rd to stay until the 28th. And they're staying in our house. It should be a good time. They're a lot of fun to have around. His sisters are a hoot. Last but not least is an update on Shane. He was released from his calling as primary teacher to the 7 year olds. He is now the Sunday School Pres. Wow. He's very excited. I'm so proud of him.

Thanks for playing and tune in again next year, same bat time, same bat channel, for Decoding Caitlin's Wish list season 2. (And if Cody doesn't improve his handwriting we might add him in as the bonus round.)

love, Cass

Me too, I have given up

Hey Cass, I have given up too. I printed it out on Saturday and strained my eyes as much as they would strain and I still couldn't figure anything more out. I am ready to read the answers. I have sent all the Christmas boxes and the first person who laughes at how I wrapped will have to give their present back. Ya'all know how I hate to wrap and when I am sitting at a small desk, it is even harder, so.......no laughing, ya hear. Love you all, mom

Caitlin's Wish List

Are you going to give us the answers yet? Mason and I want to know what her list said so that we can see how many we got right. Post them please.

Christmas Decorations

Heathey, you can use anything you want. Everything is up in the rafters in the garage and dad said he has a box of ornaments that has Casey's name on it. You can take all the Christmas stuff home with you if you want. We won't need them until next year, so use away. There might be a small tree stand, we bought one last year, but where ever you buy the tree, they can probably make one out of wood. Shane is brilliant, he can probably figure something out too.

I am still working on the Christmas list challenge. You can just see all the kids personalities when you read there lists. We are leaving now to go get my hair colored. It is raining so we can't take the scooters so we have to catch a bus....how fun is that. Love you all mom

Casey's Tree

Shane and I will put up Casey's tree. We'll by a real one. Dad, do you know where the decorations are for his tree and is there a stand some where. Mom and dad. Shane and I are borrowing your 3 trees that are bunched together to help decorate our basement for his family to come for Christmas and anything else we find that might make our house look great for the holidays. Is that ok? I promise to give them back! Love you and keep guessing on Caitlin's list. We've given up.

Guess the last two items

No one has guessed on the last two items- probably the hardest other than #3. There are 17 items. #16 is kinda hidden right under #15, and #17 is next to item #12.
