Calling all Moore's

So Rika and Briana and I were gathered around excitedly chatting about the upcoming family picnic. And the conversation turned to discussing the tradition of drawing cousin names for Christmas as it is done during this festive summer event. Now first, we all agreed that we love having a tradition among cousins and it is great to exchange presents. And if we agree to continue with that tradition, we in no way want to exit from it. However in revisiting the topic brought up a few years ago by Mary and Jim, we also agreed that there are some kinks in the system when presents sometimes don't get sent and some aunts seem to get stuck with the shopping. We discussed a number of options and think we might have come up with an idea that keeps us connected as cousins but reduces the difficulties sometimes encountered. What if each year all the cousins emailed pictures of themselves, their siblings, other cousins, family events, etc. to one cousin who would create a family calendar for Grama and any other cousin or family member who wanted a copy? I've made this type of calendar before and it is really easy on Costco's website. You might have seen last year's calendar from Rika and I at Grama's house. And it is great because we could add all the cousin and family birthdays and it comes out really neat. And I added a picture of me as a kid because someday, the calendar will be similarly vintage and cool, eh? We thought it would be good to throw out the idea before the family picnic so we could make a final decision then. And if anyone has other ideas, please share. See ya'll soon. The Moore Sisters
