Tonight was Doug's annual Christmas party. This year it was held at Villa Macri's in South Bend. Doug has worked at Renegade Rv for six and a half years, so we have gotten to know a lot of the employees and their spouses that attend the Christmas party. I used to really dread going to these events, because I felt awkward. It was nice not to have that feeling anymore and to be able to hold conversations with several of those in attendance. The food was also delicious which made it even better. Doug has worked hard this past year and his boss has recognized that on several occasions. It was nice to reflect on a successful year with those that helped make it happen.
The only downside to Doug's party was that we had to miss Meg's basketball game. Mom and Dad texted us several times to let us know how wonderful she was playing. She played two quarters on the JV and three on the Varsity. A good portion of the time she played point guard. She scored five points in the Varsity game and made an and one. She called us on the way home to let us know how happy she was. We were glad to hear that.
Cam made a big step today in his road toward independence. He went to practice after school, then stayed for Meg's game. He hung out with his friends, ate snacks from the concession stand and cheered his sister on. He waited for her at the ping pong table in the lobby afterward for a ride home all without help from his grandparents or us. He liked being able to do his own thing and we were proud of his ability to take care of himself.
