Our Christmas Wish List

For those in our family who ask every year for a wish list... here it is. For those who find themselves to be more creative about gifts, don't worry at all; we like surprises too!

Danielle's list

Pasta Stuff
Pasta Machine - you can probably find one at Bed Bath and Beyond near your house, but it might cost more
Pasta Drying Rack - also a possible find at Bed Bath and Beyond
Ravioli Stamp
Pasta Machine Cookbook
Pasta Bible

Picture Frames
6-Pc Brushed Metal Magnetic Frame - Target (online only)
Live Laugh Love Frame - Target(online only)
3-Window 5x7 Collage - Target (online and in stores) more than one would be nice; they go well together

Craft Stuff
Scrapbooking paper (comes in packages of like 180 pages, available at craft stores and occasionally at Wal-Mart)
Craft Scissors set (this is an example; ideally, Wal-Mart should have a similar set, minus rotating holder, in their store... or a craft store might, like Ben Franklin's, JoAnn's, Michael's, etc)
Other neat scrapbooking things

House Things
6-gallon buckets (such as these, at Emergency Essentials in Utah, though I'm sure you can find them somewhere else too)
Gamma seals (here, though they also have them in 6 other colors... also at Emergency Essentials, in Utah)
Stainless steel mixing bowl, 8 quart (here's an example, but you might be able to find it at Wal-Mart/Target, if not, at Bed Bath and Beyond) more than one of these would be nice too, seems like we never have enough baking bowls
Wheat Grinder (this is my favorite after doing some reviews, though no first hand experience)
5 disc cd/dvd player (this I have no idea where to find)

Movies
Errand of Angels (Deseret Book)
One Good Man (Deseret Book)



Lorelei's list
a kid's broom
Duplos (not the dinosaur ones; she has them all)
kids easel (this is a good example, as is this, and this). It should be two-sided, able to collapse for storage, and the paper clips and trays are helpful.
easel paper
clothes size 3T and up (we've also found that a girl's, not toddlers, XS 4/5 shirt fits her well in the shoulders and is long enough to help with her habit of lifting her shirt up)
Other fun and as of yet undetermined things (aka surprises)

Joey's list


lego millennium falcon
beatles rock band


1-3 xbox 360 controllers (wireless)
fable II

1-2 wii-motes
1-2 nunchucks
lego star wars, complete saga (360)
xbox 360 remote
1-2 rockband mics (wireless)
rockband guitar (wireless)
metal dance pad (red octane afterburner)
new super mario brothers wii
legend of zelda spirit tracks
rechargeable batteries


power sander
jointer
nibley books
brite music (next step for Lorelei<3)
sunday shoes
tinted faceshield for helmet

We've Moved! (and will work for comments)

The site that we had previously used for our blog started giving me problems awhile ago. Everything from April to July (the last time I updated) DISAPPEARED! As a result, I've been off blogging for awhile, but have been getting encouragement to continue blogging. So, we're going to try this avenue instead, and we'll figure out what to do with pictures and the like.

Another thing that's great about this is that there are some relatives out there who continue to ask for a Christmas wish list. Now I finally have somewhere to put it where it will be nicely formatted, instead of the crazy mess that happened with email.


AND... I have an idea that I stole from my sister-in-law, and then modified. The original deal was that she's doing 5 sit-ups or push-ups for every comment on her blog (and the user can choose). Well, neither one of those works for me, but I will add a minute to my daily workout for each person who comments (and this is in addition to the established workout). So get commenting!
