LOVING BEING WITH FAMILY
WHY, YES! WE LOVED OUR CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER!
BET YOU CAN'T GUESS IT WAS LASAGNA!
SOMEONE IS JUST A TAD BIT OF A
"NEATER EATER!"
WE THEN MOVED THE PARTY DOWNSTAIRS.
I DID A LITTLE "NAME" GAME WITH THE FAMILY.
I HAD FOUND A SITE THAT HAD THE MOST POPULAR
NAMES SINCE 1900.
I PUT EVERYONE'S FIRST NAME IN (EXCEPT I PUT ANN,
INSTEAD OF FRANCES).
SOME NAMES WERE REALLY POPULAR, FOR A SHORT
AMOUNT OF TIME. OTHERS, WERE POPULAR AT THE BEGINNING
OF 20TH CENTURY.
SOMETIMES, IT WAS THE SPELLING OF THE NAME
THAT PUT THEM UP OR DOWN (LIKE KIMBERLEE).
SO...HERE'S ALL 28 OF OUR FAMILY'S NAMES WITH
WHAT PLACE THEY WERE IN.

(On a side note, when Haley was called up before him, he told his mom
that he thought he was on the "nice" list, cuz he had tried all year. But, thought he
was on the "naughty" list instead. He said he should be called up before Haley,
cuz he's a little older. Glad he went up next!...Phew!)
