Christmas with Pawpaw and Dana

We went and had our Christmas with Pawpaw and Dana yesterday. The kids really liked seeing them and had lots of fun. They did really good getting the kids things that I think they will play with a lot.

I was planning on going over about 6pm or so and they staying for about an hour. Joe was not feeling well, and he and Dana have this thing about company staying for more than 15 minutes and they want people to leave while you still want them to stay. Planning on this, I called Steve and Liz the day before and said we would be over no later than 7:30pm or so. You can imagine how stressful it was to look at my watch and it was 9pm! I was freaking not only because I was afraid we had overstayed our welcome with Pawpaw and Dana, but that we had blown off Steve and Liz. To boot, I have no cellular service with T-mobile out at Joe and Dana's--its a dead zone for me. So I tried to call Steve as we were leaving but that's a work week night for them and I guess they'd went to bed. They probably got sick of waiting! I know I would have.
