Christmas at the Bougher's
Here we are spending time together. It was also Pat's Birthday! We don't usually get together during the year at our house so I am always happy when we can all get together.
Reindeer Bakers
One night.....Alanna and I decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies. Matthew had won a gag grap-bag gift with baking supplies in it. He gave it to me (gee.. I wonder why?) I turned on the Christmas music and Alanna and I were off to bake. In the bag were reindeer headbands and a cute penguin apron. I found another apron and we made our outfits complete! After a while we got goofy and decided to add 2 more reindeers to our clan. Daisy and Maxx were happy to make our night alot of fun and yummy!

Christy's favorite picture of Cal & Pat
This photo was taken during Christmas 2002, at the Marshall Fields downtown. 
Christmas 2007
Even though we had a sad start to our Christmas, we decided to make the best of it. We came together on Christmas day with Papa and Donna's family. We did not want Cal to spend Christmas alone. At first Cal did not seem to want to spend time together or to take us away from other plans so I was glad he thought it over and decided to call and take a ride to our house. Since we are half way between Rockford and Plainfield it was decided to have every one over by us. Its the first Christmas Day we ever spent at home. We had a great and relaxing day instead of chopping up the day here and there. Papa was in good spirits and we all enjoyed each others company. We will still get together with Cal and Donna's family to actually have "Christmas". Under the circumstances it was decided to just get together and exchange gifts another time. I am glad we got to see each other. The kids seemed to enjoy each others company too.
