I just can't wait until my 60th Christmas!!

Yes, Anonymous, Faye would like ...

So even after last night's extravaganza, there are a few things I could suggest for Christmas.

Obviously, I love surprises.

Games, like Bananagrams (but what I really want is someone to play them with me)

Michael Buble CD "Crazy Love - Hollywood Edition" - 2 cd set

And you can never go wrong with chocolate or gift cards.

Many Thanks - 60 to be exact!

Hey Troxels,

The Birthday Girl says thanks so much for the fun evening and the many wonderful gifts! It was so exciting opening each one.

Don't despair Birthday Boy, only 3 more years and you 'might' get your turn.

You guys are truly amazing.

Love,

Your "Special" Aunt and Sister

Christmas desires

Ok I am not good at declaring what I want for Christmas ever since I found out there is no Santa. I found out there was not really a Santa when my next door neighbor told me one day when we were playing in my sandbox. 2 years later, I am still having trouble with this heart-wrenching fact that we all must come to deal with at some point. It was always such a beautiful tradition, laying out cookies and milk. I always wanted to get better presents than my sister did, so I put chocolate milk out for santa and three sugar cookies with "I<3 Santa" on each. This would make me sleep well at night, knowing that I had made Santa very happy and satisfied that night. I am still a little uncertain if I truly do not believe there is a santa, so I will write the rest of this blog, adressing my gift supplier as Santa.

Dear Santa,

As you know, I have been a very good boy this year. Remember when I helped that lady pick up her purse she dropped in Red Lobster? I think that should be accounted for. Also, when I told Andrea to "stop making fun of your little sister!" Then there was the time when Andrea told my dog Chester that he smells really bad. I boldly looked at her and said "THATS NOT NICE! you could really hurt his feelings". I just wanted to make sure you remember these deeds i have done before you decide what to have your workers make me. All I want for Christmas, well I want any Dremel attachment bits because I have been working on different woodwork projects. It doesnt matter what bit, I will have fun using whaever bit I get. I will also be happy with whatever I get because I dont have anything that I really want. Thanks Santa! and I cant wait to be down in ft lauderdale to hang out with the cool people that live there.

Sincerely, Tyler

Wish List

Alright, I'll try to keep this short. If anyone out there is struggling to come up with a grand gift for me, a few suggestions:

(1) A pair of Hopalong boots,
(2) A pistol that shoots.

Well, actually come to think of it, #2 might be a little tricky in the carry-on. Maybe just a book. Anything found at the rabbitroom.com store would be great (or anything they talk about in their blog), from the fiction to the classics. Or carry-on-sized surprises, which would be lessened if I described them for you.

Have fun!
David

Hi everybuddy! I already put suggestions and if you got me one of those or a surprise that's awesome! But if you want another suggestion I just thought of one :) you could get me a book I like fiction or mystery or Christian. And I have already read the book Listen so you might not want to get me that one :) bye bye

Things I would like :)

Hope everyone is doing well!
Anything is fine of course and if you already got something that is what I want. Here is the list:
1. workout dvd
2. large strainer
3. walmart candle - the jar ones
4. a package of orbit or stride gum from sams or costco
Random list I know lol
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Hello Everybody!

First I would just like to I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog posts. :) You are awesome.

Secondly, I would like to say thank you for letting me be a part of your gift exchange!

Umm. So there isn't anything really specific that I want. I am sure that anything you might think of would be fantastic, but I know thats not really helpful.

So, if you're really truly stumped here are a few ideas. but really anything would be great!

-some sort of Christian book... a missionary biography or something to do with theology or

history or apologetics.

-cozy things. like fuzzy socks :) or a scarf.

-A sermon series, or Christian fiction, or something like that in audio form for car rides.

-maybe a fun board game (although nothing that will get too competitive- don't forget, I have to play with Andy ;)

-and suprises :)

There really isn't anything I wouldn't appreciate

except for like a bug. yea. no bugs :)

Hope you all are having a great December, we will miss you very much this Christmas! Much love to you all!

Suggestions for Mike

Anything is fine, but if you are struggling for suggestions, I'd enjoy the following:

The Wonder of It All [Blu-ray] at
http://www.amazon.com/Wonder-All-Blu-ray-Charlie-Duke/dp/B002CLBJSM

The book "When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box" by John Ortberg – Paperback is ok since it all goes back in the box :-)

Happy shopping.

Greetings from the North

Hi Family!

We are so very, very excited to be coming down in exactly 3 weeks. Can't wait!

As for my secret Santa, I thought I'd help you out, though I love to be surprised as well, and I trust (almost) all of you! If you are looking for ideas for me, then here are a couple:
1. Beth Moore Fruit of the Spirit Bible study workbook.
2. Easy, Easy, Easy guitar chord worship books.
3. Clothes, especially long sleeve shirts/sweaters.
4. Surprises!

Love you so much, and I can't wait to see you!

Merry Christmas!

Dear secret santa,
Hi there santa clause :)! I made a list of ideas of things for you to get for me if you want, but i really like suprises as well.
1. I like necklaces a super lot (but maybe not super sparkly, and nothing too big, but not very small )
2. I think surpises are the bomb-digidy
3. You could get me gadgets
4. If you'd like you could get me something off of ebay
Yipee I can't wait to see what you got for me :) thank you!
Love Megan

Hey everybody! Whoever has me, If you already got my preasent I know I'll love it! But if you haven't, to make it easier I will try to make a few suggestions.
1. Expo dry erase markers
2. A UCF T-shirt or sweatshirt (adult small)
3. Jewelry or clothes
4. I also like surprises

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great thanksgiving! I had a great time with Amy and her family, but I still missed all of you! (except for one of you...you know who you are ;))
Anyway, down to the important stuff...I don't really need anything particular, so if you've already thought of something, then that's what I truly want, but if you're drawing a blank and need some help, here's a few suggestions:
1. gift certificates to movie theaters or restaurants so I can take my lovely girlfriend out without spending too much. Our closest movie theatre is a Cinemark, and we have pretty much all the same restaurants you guys have, but I live in Cypress, zip code 77429, if you want to look something up to be sure.
2. Good Christian music. If it was made in or before 1999, I probably have it already, but I'm severely lacking in good modern Christian music. I-tunes or CD form are both OK, as are I-tunes gift cards with or without suggestions.
3. Good Christian books. I've already read pretty much everything by CS Lewis and Donald Miller, but other than that I'm basically illiterate and always looking for a good read. Fiction and non-fiction both.
4. Anything Marlins, Dolphins or Illini. My shirt size is usually medium.
Hope that helps, sorry this is so long, have a great Christmas everybody!

Wow - my wife is amazing!

She also has a very green thumb.

Looks like the flower competition might not even be close this year.

Good luck to all.
