Christmas II

Okay Caitlyn let me see if I can answer your question. We have actually been leaving for Illinois on Christmas Eve the last couple of years. That is when we see my family. And the elves have not even given any thought to this Christmas yet! I guess they should.
Kristin and Jacob, do you know yet how long you will get to be here for Christmas? Since it is on a Thursday I was thinking we could have your party on that Friday or Saturday, whichever is better for your Aunt Denise cause we are using her house. And you two to of course!
See you in about 9 days!!!!!!!!!(i am not really that excited can you tell?)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas!

With Kris and Jacob's wedding almost here, I just wanted everyone to think about what will be next... That's right! CHRISTMAS! I'm so excited for this year because we'll have three new family members!! It's also going to be nice to go somewhere for a family gathering that's not overcrowded. I'm used to Will's parents, which is great, but small.
BYU gets out the 11th, and my last day for exams is the 19th. There doesn't seem to be a graduation scheduled for December, so I don't know what's going on with that. If no one is planning on coming to watch me walk anyways, I don't know if I'd go, mostly because I'd rather be spending the time moving (if we are) or at home! I think I'll only have one scheduled exam, and that's with a professor that loves me, so I may be able to finish them all on the first day (Dec 15th) and just be done. If we're moving at that time, we'll probably pack up as fast as we can and get there a few days before Christmas Eve.
So mom, what's the plan as far as Chicago goes? Are we leaving Christmas day as usual? When are we coming back? Are the elves going to visit Will and Jacob? (I'm figuring they're going to leave Chaela some things for sure.)
I know I'm excitable, guys, but this is the first Christmas I'll have had at home since 2005!! Woo hoo!!
