More Thoughts about Christmas Dinner
Jennifer just phoned and asked me to post since she is no longer near internet access. Since the goal of the dinner is to get the family together, it would be optimum to have all there. Would it be possible to do the dinner on Saturday afternoon the 13? (Jenn wouldn't be working and we would still be able to travel easily). She gets that if this isn't an option as a grown up we occasionally have to miss things due to work schedules, (I echo that sentiment if Sunday the 14th is the option). I am to pass along thanks and appreciation to Max and Gina for hosting this event every year. (I am echoing this also and totally bow to the needs and thoughts of the hosts!) Susan, jump in here and let us know when it works for you and Cam. I think Dad and Joyce should be available either weekend. xoxo

We could probably make that work. We have our Ward Christmas party that we feel some obligation to attend - although we could make that quick - and you guys could continue to "party on" without us for an hour or so. Also - the night of the 12th Gina's cousins are coming into town and staying in the garage - and they will be leaving around noon on Saturday (which is the traditional check out time.....) So it could work - but it isn't really ideal given the day.
Any chance that we could try to do Saturday the 20th? Would that work for Jen?
Let me know what you all think. Obviously we would like everyone to be there - it wouldn't be the same otherwise!
I asked Jenn about that...she works on the 20th too. Perhaps we should beging calendaring jobs, Christmas and etc. a year in advance. xoxo
I thought about this all night. As much as I know you would love to accommodate all of us, you really need to think about YOUR life, your space, and the hecticness of the season. You are the hosts and we'll do our best to be there (if we can) when YOU want to throw the party.
Can we presume for the future that the famly weekend will generally be be the Sunday before Christmas?
sorry --- cameron and I are unavailable both weekends. we have a wedding on the 13th and another obligation on the 20th/21st.
Cam and I are game for either weekend and if I am not mistaken Jason has no opinion either.
I'm sorry you can't join us Susan. It would have been fun to have you and Cam (and dared we have hoped for Brandi) join us. xoxo
Yes, for the future - unless something out of the ordinary occurs assume we will host the family Christmas celebration on the last Sunday before Christmas.
As for this year, please clarify - Ben and Renee - will you be able/willing to attend on Saturday the 13th - even though that will mean an additional trip? You can still come the following weekend as well. We could do something fun or just hang out.
