Winding Vines Family Blog: Hope to Hear from ALL of You!

Before Thanksgiving a friend sent an email called "Getting to Know You -- Christmas Edition." You answer the questions and then send it back to the person who sent it to you and then also send it on for others to answer the questions.

I've been AMAZED at how wonderfully fun it's been to get answers back from people! And I've been equally amazed at how many people have contacted me to let me know how much fun they had answering the questions and wanting to know what others had said.

So, I thought to myself ..... "Self! Let's see if we can get even more responses!"

So I'm posting the questions below. We'd LOVE to hear what EVERYONE has to say -- even if you read this blog but don't know us personally, let's use this as a time to get to know everyone! Please tell us a bit about yourself and let's have some fun!

If you would like, please copy the below questions or simply number your answers and email them to us. And you don't have to answer them all if you don't want to -- just pick the ones you'd like to answer and leave the others blank.

In a few days, we'll print on the blog some of the responses to the questions (and there are some doosies already!) so everyone can enjoy the craziness that is the holiday season -- but we'll post them "anonymously" and won't print anything hurtful or mean -- so don't worry and just have FUN with it!

Please use the "email us" link on the right side of the blog to contact us!

(NOTE to adoptive parents! When I spell checked this entry before posting the program picked up "doosies" above and wanted to replace it with "dossiers"! Yep, those dossiers are doosies! Is that too funny or what?!!??! I don't even know if I've spelled "doosies" correct or not, but I don't care and refuse to change it now!)
