Christmas in August

I know we haven't even had Halloween or Thanksgiving yet, but some of you are so good at getting Christmas shopping done early that I thought I should post our family Christmas list. I am so envious of all of you who get your shopping done early!

Last year we set up an organized list of how we can exchange gifts between families. I still feel the urge to get something for everyone, and although you wouldn't object to more pretty gifts, with 20 husbands and wives and 23 kids between all of us, it is just too much :( So in-case you forgot about the gift giving list and who you would have this year or if you never told your new spouse about it, here is a little reminder. Look below for this year's list.

The GIVER.............Who you get to get a gift for...
The McKinleys............David & Jacque
The Jensens ................The Baldwins
Michael & Amy............The McKinleys
Joe & Kami .................The Jensens
Daniel & Jana...............Michael & Amy's family
The Shupes...................Joe & Kami's family
The Padillas .................Daniel & Jana's family
Jacob & Natalie............The Shupes
David & Jacque............The Padillas
The Baldwins................Jacob & Natalie

As a reminder, next year we will just move column two down one space and the person at the bottom of the list will move to the top. I think someone mentioned a $20 limit so try not to go overboard and get wild and crazy.

Mom and Dad are exempt from the family gift exchange list because everyone loves to get mom and dad gifts! Plus, they want to do a little something for all of their twenty-something grandchildren.

I know we will see everyone at the big Thanksgiving Dinner in Kingman! I'm excited to see you all and anxious to watch the Family Talent Show!
