January Reunion Update

I was trying to save time by not retyping everything so I just edited the last post not realizing that it would keep the old date and eliminate the previous update.  Oh well - sorry about that.

Now that the Christmas holidays are over and things are getting put away we figured you might have some time to get ready for the reunion. Here is an update on the latest reunion news.   I sure hope everyone is as excited about our Nauvoo reunion as Dad and I are.

VIDEO CHALLENGES
We now have four video challenges and are looking forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with.  

Jump - from Mom and Dad 

Hum (or whistle or somehow creatively present) your favorite hymn (or primary song)  - from Tawnia

Where I Live" - what makes your house/town/state unique?  - from Mindy, Aaron and Aria

Horror Movie Trailer - from Jared, Michelle, Brooke, Bryan and Emma

Best Movies of the Decades
Nominating Committee - get your votes in - send to frankandevelynpalmer@yahoo.com. Remember the committee is the eight siblings. So far we've heard from three of you. If anyone has not been able to access the videos on dropbox, please let us know.

The Retirement of Captain Chaos

Adam came up with this movie idea, remember? The grandkids hear that Captain Chaos is
retiring and they want to take his place so they make audition tapes. The final scene will be filmed at the reunion and edited onto the end so it can be shown there. Please send your portion of the movie to Dad. Also contact Adam with your idea of how you receive the news so he can "send" it from there, since his kids will be the first to know. Any questions?

Apples to Apples
I'm putting stickers on some of the cards to make this the Palmer Family version. Please
email me a definition for each person in your family. Also include schools attended, places you've lived or other things unique to you or your family

Here is my definition for Lafayette "Lafayette Oregon 
A small town in Oregon. Home to the Palmer family from 1979 to 2014. Now home to the Coles"

Clarissa came up with these definitions:
Clarissa Nicole Cole - Yes it’s a stutter but it means clear victory.
Lester Jason Lee Cole - Legion of healers from the meadow of fire.
Scrappy - Half Jack Russell Half American Eskimo - 100% Lap-Ninja

Is there anything I've forgotten?

Trina - Did Summer write this definition?

Hmmm... Classic Jenna: probably a dog, part Sharpei. Brooke's sleeping buddy, because she's not old enough to get married. Not "new Jenna."

Michelle said...

Brooke: A faithful Otaku. A super swaggy sexy goddess of awesomeness. Her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Girls are all envious of her. Her manga collection is great. No one can compare. She is the bestest.

"Bestest'' is NOT a word.
