Come One, Come All!

Our Annual Christmas Girl Party!
Monday, Dec 15th-
5:00 at Sue's
(we know it's late notice, but come anyway!)
In the spirit of the season, our party is going to be all about giving!
So, if you're not in the Christmas spirit yet, this will do it!

Here's what we're planning:



  1. A Goodie Exchange: Bring a batch of goodies...we'll pack some up for Sean, and each have a plate to take home!


  2. A Package for Sean: Elder Sean is our only missionary this year. Bring something to fill up his package (i.e. toothpaste, gag gift, etc)


  3. A baby shower for Lauri: Little "Mya Claire Tyson" is now due any minute! (I'm sure her mother hopes she won't even last until Monday!) Bring a gift to help welcome little Mya into the family!


  4. Hygiene Kits for the Humanitarian Center: Instead of a craft this year, we're going to assemble 25 hygiene kits. What better time of year to do this? See information below...


  5. Gift Exchange: We don't want anyone going home empty-handed, so bring a $10.00 wrapped gift and we'll have some fun exchanging them!
    Got it all?-Call Sandy or Sue if you don't!

Hygiene Kit Information:

Here is what we need, sign up for what to bring by commenting on the blog, or calling Sandy. If you don't care what you bring, we'll make assignments on Friday night for those who haven't signed up.

Each kit has:


2 unbreakable combs (no sharp handles)

4 toothbrushes (packaged)

1 tube of toothpaste (6-8 oz., no pumps)

2 bars of soap (approximately 4 to 5 oz.)

2 hand towels (new towels, approximately 15" by 25")


So that means we need:

50 combs (you can buy them in packages with lots in them)

100 toothbrushes (check the dollar stores-sometimes there's 4 to a package)

25 tubes of toothpaste (again, the dollar store)

50 bars of soap (ditto)

50 hand towels (Sandy will get these)


Just sign up for whatever you think you can do...it doesn't have to be a lot if you can't...


Let's party!


p.s. this awesome post was actually created by Sandy! I just helped with some technical difficulties!

My brain is taxed -- Can i simply contribute $20 towards kit supplies? and whomever is already grabbing stuff can get $20 worth more?
OK - Maya, help me remember to bring sue's muffin tin and a check for sandy for transferred home movies, OK? ... and also several good $10 gifts, and a batch of goodies, and chips & salsa, and rolls, and what else??
Oh, and WHO is 'trying to stay calm'? and does she have any ideas for effective CALM in my household!

Friday night...
Looks like everything is covered except 100 toothbrushes! Everybody else just bring as many toothbrushes as you feel you can...Amie said Wal Mart had some cheap ones. We'll just see how far we get with what we have on Monday. Thanks!

I have 12 toothbrushes to donate!

Wow... you all had this so super organized! No wonder I was so out-of-the-loop! (At least I knew Katie was engaged though... ;)
