Sub 4 santa and stuff

It's fun to have people on the blog again... and it's fun to have internet in my home again, and it's fun to have a home. Thanks to each and everyone of you for all of your help in getting us moved in and painting walls etc. We're hoping to really be moved in by the time we leave for Arizona, then we can work on little projects after that, like buying an oven and a bathroom sink. We're loving our home and neighborhood and we're really enjoying working together on this quite large project.
Okay so Christmas time is here...wierd. Dean and I will be driving down with Jodi and Carson on Tuesday afternoon and will arrive in Arizona sometime Wednesday early afternoon...I would guess. And like everyone else, will do whatever Grandma has for us to do. Christmas cards or christmas tree, we can't wait. We'll just ask grandma which is the sugar and which is the salt this time.
We will also be traveling home on Sunday to be to work on Monday. Can't wait to be in Sunny AZ with grandma and grandpa!
As for the fun in Park City. We'll be available like mom most evenings, as I am still employed through the end of the year. But it would be an easy time for me to take a day off work. I have plenty of personal time to eat up. Dean is running out of vacation days, but will be available to come up in the evenings.
Marler party ont he 20th will work for us, and poll party on the 23rd. We'll look into getting Monday off to go down to st. george after christmas. That would be fun to be somewhere warmer this year.
Okay as for the sub for santa. The person in charge of this is desperately looking for sponsors. I have taken two of the largest families to sponsor from our family. I'll bring down the lists of people, and maybe we can have another reason to shop the day after thanksgiving.
If any of you know of other organizations, charities or families that would like to sponsor a sub for santa family, there are plenty of families looking for sponsors this year. My singles ward has historically helped, but they found other families this year, so we are hoping to find some more sponsors. Sorry for the asking for money shoutout on our family blog, but I can say that it probably won't happen again next year as programs like sub for santa will no longer be a part of the Sorenson Center.
I'm excited for the holidays with my family! Love you all!
