So after some discussion at Ella's B-day about the unbirthday, we came up with a few ideas.
We were thinking Friday February 8th at Ron and Jill's. But then it occurred to me that Tiff and Rod may not be able to get home by then, so I need to hear from you guys about that. Can you get off early? Lets talk.
First, the list.
From - To
Angie - Jill
Jill - Jan
Jan - Tiff
Tiff - Mom
Mom - Amanda
Amanda - Becky
Becky - Angie
Ron - Dave
Dave - Rod
Rod - Dad
Dad - Kevin
Kevin - Matt
Matt - Tyler
Tyler - Ron
Second, food. What should we do? Nobody wants to cook so we were thinking take out. I need ideas.
Third, games. Everyone needs to bring 1-2 games for us to play.
Fourth, kids. We talked about not having kids. So get your sitters now.
Lastly, price. This is a democracy. I want some input on your ideas for gift price limits. Those of us that were planning this tossed around $40 per person. I get the vibe that not everyone is ok with that. So please let me know. Post it on the blog or give me a call. We want this to be fun and not a burden for anyone. It would be nice to have an actual family tradition which we Stone's have very few of. The idea for this thing was to avoid getting killed financially at every birthday and saving some money. But I think a birthday should be fun and make you feel special. And sometimes a nice gift will do that. I won't lie, I like getting presents, it's fun. Especially when they come from the heart and nice always doesn't mean $$$. So speak up let's hear what you think.
I think this is going to be fun if we can get it all together!!

Hey where's Angie on the girls list, I know she was on the list I made at the party, but she's not listed here. Also, just because the limit was 40.00 doesn't mean you actually have to pay 40.00. If you are shopping right now you can find some stuff that is worth 40.00 or more and can get it for half price or less. So that's an idea too, and you all know how cool e-bay is, you can go that route too. I just thought it would be nice to have a higher limit since we are only doing this once a year.
I think we should talk more about this party thing in person, I hate waiting for my internet! lets talk about this on Saturday after the sealing.
Ummmm where were you at Ella's b-day party on Saturday Matt? We were talking about it then ;)
Sorry Angie. All fixed!!
Sorry I'm late on this...
Rod has been having to work until 5 every day so we probably can't come down on the 8th in time. We're also talking about pouring concrete that weekend since it's the next Saturday that Rod has off, but who knows what the weather will be. Maybe we can figure out another weekend that would work out better? Or everyone can come up here and help out with concrete... :D I don't know. You guys go ahead and decide and let us know. We just can't do it on a Friday though.
We are ok with everything on here - The limit is pretty much perfect to us - and our weekends are open, should we do it on the 9th, Saturday? And I vote for chinese, because you get a ton of food, and it's easy to split up across the board money wise.
