Secret Santa

Ok, so everyone should know how we do this, but since we have a newbie this year, CARMEN!!! woo hoo! and yes you should be excited because not everyone can be in it;) Ok, so whoever you have for secret santa this year noone can know, except matt. And if we did this right you shouldnt have matthew as your secret santa:) if you do let us know. Anyway since this is the only present we buy for on this side (except if you buy a present for mom and dad cause they are not in it) we like to spend a decent amount, its always been like $80-100..... So since we picked names on thanksgiving everyone should be either emailing there list or posting it on the blog. If you do not know who you have then you need to ask Mom she picked for the people that were not here this year. For the kid secret santa (our first year) Lori and I thought $25-30 would be good. If anyone has another idea then let me know. Merry Christmas!! ... Oh and another thing I need feed back on what day everyone wants to get together to exchange gifts? I was thinking dec. 31st which is a Saturday we always get together for new years eve anyway so I thought it would be fun to exchange then since we will all be together, we can do it at our house and everyone can spend the night if they want, we have plenty fo room..... other suggestions are welcome.

thanks rebeca, matt told me that i had to spend a minimum of $500.00 and that i pulled his name . . . felt like a rip off to me! whenever you guys want to exchange gifts works for us. as mike may have mentioned to you, we are coming out from the 28th to the 4th . . . i hope you were SURPRISED to hear that!

love,
carmen

Jason, I don't understand your comment! :o( Anyways, Boo I am excited about New Years! We should definitely play some pictionary...or something. Yeah I think exchanging gifts then is a great idea, thanks for waiting! Oh and make sure everyone is posting their Christmas list on this thing.

Renee, my comment was because Rebeca posted a suggestion for XMas and noone bothered to be like, yeah, that is a good idea or no, we should do this.

We still don't have an answer as to when and where we are doing it : )

And yes, we must partake in the Pictionary and/or the Pursuit of Trivia.
