The time is HERE!!
Well... Mom's birthday is this Sunday. I've been talking with Debby and as far as DAY and TIME and PLACE... that's all up in the air. Depending on those who are coming from CA and their work schedules.
One idea was Sunday dinner. Unknown restaurant.
Another idea was Monday LUNCH. Unknown restaurant.
Since I have NOT heard from anyone other than Debby and Pam I am assuming that others are either NOT planning to come or don't care where or when. Even if you are not planning to attend... it would still be nice to know one way or another.
Debby and family members are planning to be there.
Pam and Mike may or may not attend - depending on work.
Have not heard from David, Meshell, Michael, Keith.
You can post a message on here if you'd like. I will check when I get to AZ. Planning on heading to AZ within an hour or so.
Mom already suspects that something is "up". She's gearing up to be all mad. She said she does not want a "big deal" made out of this. I'm only planning on going out to eat as a big group. Having birthday cake (if I can find someplace to make it at such short notice) and just being with mom. If anyone wants to get mom a gift I know she would LOVE gift cards to Walmart. She can get whatever she wants / needs there within her budget. She has mentioned this to me in the past.
If anyone has any input... NOW is the time. Well... Last June when I first sent this out would have been THE time. NOW is really too late. If you want to know where and when... check back on this site (I'll update it if I can) or call mom's house and ask for ME.

WELCOME!!!
DECEMBER 26th 2010
This blog is for ANYONE who is related to mom. Please help keep this a secret from mom.
THE PLAN: To have as many family members there for mom around her birthday.
_______________________________________________________
For starters... This is Alleta - my screen name is Farscaper. Darin and the kids and I are planning to be in Arizona this Christmas to be with mom and Seth. Mom happens to turn 80 the day after Christmas.
Mom really hates having a big deal made over her. I'm not planning to go over the top. So we don't over whelm her but still honor her on her birthday I thought it might be nice to have everyone gather for a birthday dinner. Knowing mom's personality, just having everyone together at the same place at the same time would be awesome!!
Since her birthday is on a Sunday... I'm not thrilled at going out to eat on a Sunday. I'm putting this out there to see what everyone is available for...
FIRST TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
Monday - December 27th
5:00 pm
Dinner at Carlos O'Brien's Mexican Restaurant
(SCOTTSDALE 7111 East Bell Road (480) 367-0469)
How about meeting the day after her birthday (Dec 27th) or some other day close around there.
I know Mom really enjoys Mexican food. One restaurant we went to several times that mom really enjoyed (and "stole" the recipe of their Chimichanga's) is Carlos O'Brein's Mexican Restaurant.
Everyone can pay for their own self/families and help chip in to pay for Mom's dinner.
The day is not set in stone. If another day is better for everyone I need to know. I know that travel around Christmas is VERY hectic. We could always hold it before Christmas. I just thought that life is crazier and busier before Christmas than after Christmas.
____________________________________
I need feedback from everyone.
- Will you be there or not?
- What day is best for you? (Give me a date range you are available)
- Do you have a better idea than what I've come up with?
I have enabled EVERYONE to be able to make a comment. You do not need to have a Google account. You just need to make sure I know who YOU are when posting so I don't see "I'll be there" and not know who said that. Thanks.
Pass this site link on to other family members (grand kids etc..) who would like to be included.
I doubt we can accommodate everyone's schedules. I'm hoping to have as many people there as possible. That's why I'm starting NOW with the plans. Thanks for your input!
Don't Forget to CHECK BACK to see what the plan finalizes out into (place, time, date etc...)
