-Wrap all the presents for parents and grandparents and the name exchange in WY to get sent home with said parents over the birthday party weekend. This actually saved me a ton on shipping which would have to be done too.
-Finish present for a red headed sister because I get this idea to make her something that at least makes me laugh if not her!
-volunteer to buy rolls from Idle Isle for Thanksgiving (if you get up my way you have to eat here! not that other famous steak joint down the road..their rolls suck and so does the service unless you order take out).
-volunteer onen of your bachelor brothers to host Thanksgiving. They have cool things like theater rooms to hook up the Wii and get my kids out of my hair.
-con one of JaDee's future co-workers into accepting and holding our Christmas packages becuse we will be in a Residence Inn for Christmas. (Sounds cozy)
-Try to figure out how to hold Christmas in a Residence Inn with 3 kids, a fake pre-lit tree from Lowes, 2 cats, a dog and a kitchen the size of my bathroom, which is small in case you were wondering.
-have Christmas bought and wrapped and shipped by the 18th of November because it takes a LONG time to get things to Alaska.
-wrap while the paint is drying in your new family room that you had to get finished because it will add $10,000 to your appraisal price which is what the company will buy your house for in Jauary when it doesn't sell before then. Which it won't, because come on, have we seen the economy lately!
-Christmas cards...how about Valentine's Day cards with our new address and phone #
-Don't forget my parents birthdays on Nov 22 and 30 and Olivia's on the 13. Even November babies are too close to Christmas. And I should know what too close to Christmas is. I celebrate Dec 26th as the day of my birth.
-Have a band concert (Carter) Nov 13
-a late night party (Carter) Nov 21
-another party (Ethan) Dec 6
-a bookclub Christmas banquet (not at my house)! Dec 11
-be on the ward Christmas party food committee (was I on Crack to agree to that...no, I just can't let my life here go just yet). Dec 5

I know what you are going through. Except I didn't move during the holidays. Summer time was bad enough. Just keep a smile on your face. It will all be worth it in the end. It's great you got the WY gifts done. My mom came last week and I did the same thing. Postage is a killer. Good luck the next month. I'll be thinking of you guys.
I have not even thought about Christmas. It is still too warm outside for me to even go there. I am really impressed. So how do presents arrive in Alaska? The Pony Express?
Is there anywhere that makes better rolls than Idle Isle? I think not. Except for the Pie Dump that is even further to the North.
Don't ya love, all the got to do's?
