So what do you all want to eat for dinner?

dad

Erin...need to invite dad to the blog...his email is kahbah0301@yahoo.com thanks. He'll probably just post bah humbug.

maybe we should crash at mark and ashley's party...what are they eating...is it the whole gentle clan

Thank you

Thank you to all who have posted...Dad, we're just waiting on you.
Michael...I will look for a lawnmower like that.
Mom, why not anything Mexican...I heard that's good "shit."
13 days to The Eve...Ali and I are excited.

BRENRY

Brenda and Henry are planning on coming for Chirstmas Eve. Stacey, A.J. and Ticcy can't come...they will be with Mark, Ashley and the boys that night.

You guys are so generous to invite them...they really enjoy it!

Edited to add: If you are feeling generous and want to get something for Brenry, here are some ideas. They LOVE beer and wine. Socks are good...white athletic...you should see the socks they wear...a sockless homeless person would burn them to keep warm. Brenda hasn't seen many classic movies like "Top Gun" and "Pulp Fiction"...and she has a DVD player. Henry has an orginal Playstation and enjoys getting "new" games. Anything, really, they would love...

You guys are awesome!

Erin Christmas List '06

It honestly took me hours to come up with this list! All I really want for Christmas is for Mike to finish the corn and a Bob. Oh, and a nice meal and board game on Christmas Eve!

-Box of dark chocolates

-Diapers...really anything off of Bob's registry (Baby's R Us and Target) or anything you wanna get. Bob already has plenty of blankets, clothes, washcloths and burp rags!

-Gift certificate to the spa by my house...I forget the name?? It's on Midland St. across from Herford and Hops or whatever it's called now.
