A few photos...

Another year, another fun party! Why does it always feel so rushed though? Sorry I had to run out the door at the end! Trevor pointed out something that we all already know, the Steingress family is horrible at saying goodbyes! We will all stand around and hug each other multiple times saying goodbye, then someone will start up another conversation for a few minutes, then we'll say goodbye again, hug again, and so on! It's great for us, but maybe slightly frustrating for the non-Steingress men ;) Here are a few photos we took, for those of you not on Facebook:

Party Food

Party time is drawing near -- so what are you bringing to eat? Remember this is a pot luck, everyone please bring something. Gail, Beth, Rob, and Carol are bringing a main dish. Everyone else bring an appetizer, dessert, or main dish. If you are not a cook, bring carrots and dip, chip and dip, chips and salsa. Make it simple or make it fancy, but please bring something. Bring whatever you plan to drink.

So far this is what I have heard people are bringing:
Gail: quiche
Beth: chili
Rob: maybe Uncle Dan Dooley spaghetti
Carol: lasagna
Grandma: paper products
Corey: spinach dip bread bowl, something for the kids, and perhaps a toffee

Ugly Sweaters Are Encouraged

And when we say ugly, we mean UGLY.

Come one guys, let's make this the best family photo of ALL TIME.

What are you bringing?

I am not sure what I am bringing. But Carol and Rick have already made a lasagna. Yum! They are also bringing an Italian salad.

Last year we had made suggestions/requests so if you check out the blog post for December 15 last year you will see what we did. However as I recall we did have tons of food.

If you would like to let everyone know what you are bringing, just comment to this blog post.

We have a date!

The family Christmas party is scheduled for Monday December 26. Corey and Tim have graciously offered their home again. Stay tuned -- more to come.

So what's the date?

Well everyone what do you think? When will we have the Christmas party?

Invites are out

Taylor made the most beautiful invitations. Be sure to RSVP and answer the age old question --- What is your favorite nail polish color?

Tea time again

It's that time. Hope you have saved the date for the tea party this year. We will be at the orchard, Sunday July 17. We will be celebrating my 60th birthday and Morgan's graduation -- associates degree and continuing on to her bachelors. We are planning and are excited to see you all there!

More details to follow!
