Absolutely nothing to do with military....but I don't care

This is the easiest place for me to post this:

Attention Kurt, Josh, Lea, Emily, Rj and Justin: (everyone else can ignore this)

I finally got around to drawing names for Christmas:

Kurt - Emily
Hope - Josh
Josh - RJ
Lea - Kurt
Justin - Lea
RJ - Hope (I swear this is like the third year that you've had my name....just meant to be I suppose. Or maybe it's because you give good gifts and I rig it up so you always have me :D )
Emily - Justin

So we have several things we can do here.

1- Typical $15 limit gift exchange
2- "Go Green" and limit ourselves to $5.00 Gift has to be found, made or purchased second hand
3- Game - in which case we'll ignore the list and play the white elephant game. One at a time drawn out of hat, grab a gift and open it. The next person and choose that gift or pick from the middle. It's a wicked game of theft and fun.
4- we ditch the list and everyone just buys one present and gives it to the favorite *oldest* sister.... oh wait that would be ME. :P

Let me know. :) Or if you have a better idea please feel free to come forward and make suggestions.

Care packages

I found this website with TONS of care package ideas. It has pretty much any thing on there that you can think of and then some!
http://www.geocities.com/militarycarepackage/

If you goto the post office they have what are called Flat Rate Boxes. Its pretty much ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that you can fit inside the box goes (as long as it follows the rules) and its only about 7bucks to send. There are 2 different shapes but they are roughly the same size so it depends on what your sending. Did i mention the boxes are free?

This is my goal. I would like to see every family unit (including myself) to send 1 care package a month. Some can be personal and some can be for the rest of the unit, just making sure Rj is getting the Care he needs. I think it'll be a fun challange to try for all of us.

Im starting my 1st package today!
