Goodbye Aaron, Diana, Brent, Hannah, Catherine, Laura, and Grace
I remember when our family of five (almost six) moved to this great town in 2004. Diana and her family were one of the first families that we met. Our family was outside the commons area, in front of Borders, dancing to music from a local band. Diana and her family walked up to us and introduced themselves. They gave us the "living in Davis low down". Soon after that, we were watching each other's children for date nights and doing preschool together.
Those "T" kids are so fun! You are sure to always get a hug from Catherine or Laura, and Brent is always ready to say something funny to make you laugh. Hannah is a good example of obedience, and Grace holds her own as the fifth child.
You are one cool family. We will miss you!

Christmas gift idea notes
Thanks everyone for the great ideas! Here are my notes - I'm sorry they are late and there's not a lot of details - I put the persons name before the idea - please contact them if you have any questions!! And if I forgot something or made a mistake I'm REALLY sorry - leave a comment and I'll fix it! Happy gifting! (I'll try to have a word document sent with the announcements and a printed version at Relief Society)
“Our fairytale” (Amy Bell/Stacy Papa) Gift for the spouse - a small “scrapbook” type book telling of how the prince and princess met and got married. Full of pictures of their dating story and their personalities (what attracted them to each other, etc)
Magazine covers (Amy Bell) Took popular magazines and created covers featuring their family members (so a Woodworking magazine featuring her dad and his shop and work). Suggested downloading the real cover off of the internet (magazines.com) and then using a free internet program call “gimp” to edit the cover, putting your family member on it. Framed it and gave it as a gift.
Family book (Amy Bell) 8x11 spiral bound book with a page or two of each member of their extended family. Included pictures, description of the person and fun stories. Each page was laminated.
“Baby Jesus” (Otilia Shaw) In Peru they love nativity scenes and spend the month of December adding pieces to their nativity scene each day until they finally put Baby Jesus in on December 24. They have a big party in the beginning of December to decorate and begin and then another party late on the 24 with hot chocolate, chicken soup, fruit cake and such to celebrate Christmas (they don’t exchange gifts but have a fun party). A fun tradition to start and you could make paper packets of the nativity scene parts to give to someone.
Gifts in a jar (Natalie Seipert and Jessica Loehrman) Natalie has a book with all sorts of fun recipes. She had granola in a jar and covered the top with fabric and ribbons that looked really nice. Jessica likes to door bell ditch them and found lots of recipes and fun tags off of the internet. She suggests layering everything and then using a spoon on the edges to make fun patterns and mix it up a little.
Advent Calendar (Jessica Loehrman) For FHE they take Christmassy napkins and fill them with a white piece of paper and a treat and wrap them up and tie with a ribbon. On the white paper is a fun activity to do – go see Christmas lights, have some hot chocolate, etc, (you could also do compliments). They put the tied up napkins in a bowl or hang them on string and pick one out each day.
Blanket (Jessica Loehrman) She sent a white square piece of fabric to everyone in her husbands family. They decorated it and sent it back and she sewed them together to make him a quilt. You could use fabric markers or crayons or anything else fun to decorate it.
Christmas star ornament (Stacy Papa) Each year she takes a plain wooden star, paints it yellow and puts pictures of the main events of the year – a stork, graduation cap, etc
Tree skirt (Stacy Papa) She took Christmas fabric and made a tree skirt then traced everyone’s hands (this was for Grandma so she got all the grandkids handprints) onto cream fabric, wrote their name on the hand and attached it to the skirt (many ways you could do this). Each year she gets the handprint of the new grandkids and adds it on with their name and date.
Yarn Ball (Linnea Hall) Take a skein of yarn and wrap around some cardboard (it needs to be cut a certain way – talk to her or check the internet). After it is wrapped tightly around a donut shaped piece of cardboard you can cut the edges to make a fuzzy ball. You can use all different colors and varieties.
Advent calendar (Linnea Hall) took animal shapes that they decorated and hung up, used felt to make envelopes that they put notes in, and has also done a marker point sampler (like cross-stich only using marker)
Glass ornaments – we talked about several different ways – you can print a picture (of your family, kids, the temple) on clear paper (like overhead projector paper) and then roll it up and insert into the top of the clear ornament, or get the ornaments that open up. If you use the ornaments you open up you could laminate the picture
You can also get a temple stamp and with the temple on it and use gold embossing powder.
You can also laminate the picture, take a baby food jar, glue green floral foam to the inside of the lid then attach the picture to the foam, fill the jar up with distilled water and glitter and make a globe (Dawn)
Fleece scarves (Kelly-Marie) fleece does not unravel! She measured out her length and sewed a “tube” for a nice thick scarf and then did all sorts of fringes at the edge to decorate them
Food treats (Sarah Ahlstrom) You can make brownies or cupcakes in silicone molds (I have Christmas tree shaped ones) that you can then decorate and hand out. You can also dip big stick pretzels into white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. Sugar cookies can be cut into fun shapes and decorated. I also have a pan that makes 8 small loves of bread – you can make white bread and make some fun butter (honey butter is my favorite) to give out or banana bread. I like to get clear small “bakery” bags from the dollar store to wrap them up in.
Calendars (Sarah) You can buy blank calendars of various sizes at most craft stores and then put pictures on them – either a single 5x7 type size or several “scrapbooked” pictures. I also started doing them online – LOTS of places let you upload your pictures and arrange them in their calendar – you choose the layout (up to 9 pictures) and the background and some let you add birthdays and such as well. You can also print “collages” so take a family picture, put it in the middle, then put small individual pictures all around for pretty cheap.

See ya tonight!
From those I have talked who use the building on Wed nights it sounds like we'll probably be in the relief society room tonight (wed) at 7:30 for the Christmas gift night. If you can, bring anything you like to give away as gifts (this includes food treats you give your neighbors or family). The more we have the more fun it will be! I'm excited to see you tonight! (we could also end up in the gym...I'll be there at 7:00 and see which room the young women aren't using so look for me and the tables)
