Since my day off was canceled, again.... (*Sigh*) I figured I should get this up and going. Let me know if there are any questions.

Date: Dec 12th 2009

Time: Starting at 1 (Or earlier, since people are usually here), can go till whenever people leave

Where: Legion Headquarters AKA, The Uchtorff Home

Who: Legion, House members, retirees, The families and well just about anyone, (as well as those under special invite by Legion headquarter Chairpeople).

Gift Exchange: Standard rules apply. Presents are to be under $10 and for anyone so we can play swap the present.

Kid Exchange: This year we are looking into a kid exchange. Please post here or email me if you plan on attending with ages. You have until Nov. 24th to get in on it. I will then randomly pull names out of a hat and email people with results. So please make sure your contact email is working or let me know if you would rather I use the Private message function of the board.

Food and whatnot: As always, BBQ are Bring your own Meat, bring your own alcohol. Also, please bring something to share.

As far as rules, we will no longer have that issue, but I do ask that you respect my home, respect each other, and please watch your language as children will be in attendance.

So I'm dumb and got the dates of finals mixed up (they are the week after the party, not before). However, I still plan on attending the party. And this actually kinda works out better for planning travel for the holidays anyways.

The slave master is already grumbling about my wanting to get over there in Dec. I told her that she was welcome to come also, but she is still grumling. We will just have to wait and see what happens between now and then.

K

will be there with both little ones.

Looks like I won't make it. Sorry guys. Promised Lothar that I would go to the winter camp out.. fun fun

Twinkle - I Knew planning had been too easy. Let me know if anything else changes.

Fredrick - You know door is always open to you both, We would love to see you but understand if its not always possible.

N'dra - looking forward to seeing you guys. Kinda sad only time we get together is BBQs, lol.

Mags - Well you are both welcome if you want to make a little trip to someplace warm for a short stay. You will be missed if you cant make it.

bean Si,

I know we are so close but so busy! it sucks! Marcus really needs to come over and play more too so he gets use to other kids....

No kidding, OUr schedule is jsut getting worse and worse and worse. Our lives are pretty much booked until After Valentines day weekend (I hope thats not booked yet).

As a result, can people please give me a heads up of when they are arriving in as soon as you know. That week is rather nuts here, so I am trying to get as much information lined up as possible. Thanks

we will be coming and we will need crash space. we will be showing up some time after noon

I was thinking of trying to be there Fri evening, but I can hold off until Sat morning if that is more conveniant

Darstab - Thanks for letting me know. Thats kinda what I figured from you guys. IT will be great to see you and I am sure we can find you a place to crash. Just remember your Cpap this time. (Smirk)

ALexander - You are more than welcome to come in. Friday is still up in the air a bit since I have to get kiddos from school adn things so there may be points where no one is home, but generally speaking, Friday evening works and thats about when people start rolling in.

Bean Si, I honestly won't know when we're leaving til, like, Weds or something. I guess plan for us to be there on Friday, but don't be surprised if we show up Sat morning. There will be phone calls involved letting you know for sure.

No worries hon, I know life happens. Just do what you need to and we will see you when we see you. Feel free to call next week since I am sure I will need the adult conversation.

I know i'm late on entering the kid exchange but i have 6 kid 7 if you include oger ages ranging from 21-29. I will gladly exchange them for chickens cows horses ect.

How good of baby sitters are they? I might be willing to do some trading for one or 2.

i have a few good baby sitters what are you willing to trade for them?

Well, I am kinda short on the farm creatures end, but I might be able to come up with some good fabrics, a thing of monkey bread and maybe a good cold weather warhound..

Is there any floor/crash space left for this weekend. I just realized I never asked...

Your welcome to whatever you can find. There should plenty of space. When will you be rolling in?

Probably between noon and one on Saturday; I'm not sure of my drive time yet. Mostly, I just need a spot Saturday night, probably leaving early on Sunday.
