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.
