Leigh's baptism

I know, it's a sorry demonstration of Photoshopping. Nevertheless, Leigh will be baptized at 10 a.m. March 20 at Trinity Lutheran Church (and school).

Alexandra is Leigh's Godmother.

We'd love you to attend the regular Sunday service and a light, informal lunch gathering at our home in Goshen following the service. I'm assuming everyone is able to GoogleMap or Mapquest the addresses below, but let me know if you need directions. If you think you might come, please gimme a ring or send me a text or an e-mail so I know how much food to have! Hope to see you soon!

Second Annual Night Sled

No hot plans for Saturday night? Why not chill out -- way out -- at the Second Annual Night Sled at Minkerfarm? The sun will be down, the sparkly lights will be up, and a good time will be had by all. So bring your warm clothes and spirit of adventure (and maybe a hot toddy or two!) and join us January 15 for a night of chills, spills, and thrills.

Call Marlene if you need further details or directions.

New Year's in Plymouth

A little tongue will brighten any holiday!

The Jeffirs Christmas celebration will be Sunday, January 2, 2011. New Year's Day is out since the store will be open. Hope to see you all there!

Update on Mark's 50th

If anyone is planning on joining us on Saturday (Nov. 13), we will plan on meeting at Timbers (at Four Winds Casino) around 6:30 p.m. They don't take reservations, so it will be a pretty casual meal. By the way, it take just over an hour to get there from Plymouth.

After dinner, there is a sports bar, martini bar and a stage bar, at which some dude named Walt Wise will be performing. He apparently plays a dozen instruments and covers the hits from the '40s through the present. And, of course, the tables.

Whether you can make it or not, be sure to wish Dad/Mark a happy 50th birthday this week or next!

Important - Jeffirs Family Calendar

Copied from the email I sent out in case I missed anyone:

Everyone,

The calendars will be $15 again this year. If you'd like one, please bring a check or money to Thanksgiving and I'll add your name to the list. If you can't make it to Thanksgiving, or if you forget, I will need your payments no later than December 1st. After then, I will place the order and if I haven't gotten your money, I won't be able to order one for you. I would like to have the calendars to pass out at Christmas, so please do your best to get your payments in on time.

If you could reply to this email and let me know how many you plan on getting, it'd be great if I could know that ahead of time. Also, if any of your contact information has changed in the last year, please let me know so I can put the correct info on the back of the calendar. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Kayla

It's Pumpkin Time!

Pumpkin by Kayla

It's that time of year...Pumpkin carving time! I thought it would be a neat idea to put everyone's pumpkins on the October page of the family calendar. If you've got pictures of your pumpkins, please send them to me at krjeffirs@yahoo.com so I can put them on display!

Also, I'm in need of some pictures of certain people for the calendar. If anyone has pictures of Mar, Rick, Jim, Janis, Mark Holiday, or Rita, please send the to me! I could also use some pictures of anyone together doing fun stuff.
