Time for a new update to our reunion plans. I'm sure you've all heard that Adam is getting the menu ready and making shopping lists.
We don't quite have all the nominations in yet but if you want to start voting for the movies of the decades you can start with the following. Remember each person over three years gets to choose one movie per decade.
The nominees for the 60s are:
The Mortgage Bit
I Spy
The Caped Currier
The 70s are:
Hide and Seek
The Magic Wand
Run Spot Run
Dad put together a tentative outline for the reunion. We'd really like your feedback on all of this. We love you and can't wait to see you in Nauvoo.
