As
is now tradition, the adults have drawn 2 of each other's names and for the rest of the family we will do
gifts as usual. Judy Schleis has the official list so if you have forgotten
who you have or want to check on who else has the same people as you,
please email her. Also, each adult Dumas child is responsible for a stocking goody or
goodies - anything from food to toys - to put in each person's stocking. Please take the
time to wrap these if they're small - the idea is to take up space.
For the common ideas (avocados, satsumas.. etc) you may want to let others
know you are doing this.

For the adult gift exchange, a $25-50
gift range has been suggested. However, it's not the cost that counts, so please
don't feel obligated to spend that amount. It is the thoughtfulness of the giver and
the joy of the receiver that gives value to our giving. As a sidenote - we will NOT be doing the gift swap "game" that we tried last year. *Our
cousin Aaron Dumas now lives with Corina. He is included in the
drawing and will have a stocking.
*Kyle and Wendy may or may not be at our Christmas celebration depending
on when little Adam is born. I'll make updates here
if/when status changes. He will also have a stocking. This is
an ultrasound from mid-September and for those who can't read it, it's a
view of his left side with his head on the right facing up. Click on
