Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve!  I'm in Louisville this morning and got up early even by Kentucky time.  We had Christmas in St. Louis yesterday and also celebrated Jalen's 15th birthday.  Those attending were Rose, Shirley, Chris, Shelly, Drew, Goldman, Scott, Beth, Brayden, myself, and the birthday honoree, Jalen.  We were so glad he could come.

After a lovely brunch and gift exchange, Scott, Beth, the boys and I made the long ride back to Louisville and dropped the boys off to celebrate Jalen's birthday with their mother.  We will have them back tonight.  Beth is flying back to Kansas City tomorrow to have Christmas with her family but will be back Friday, and she and Scott are going to Nashville.  Scott is not a big fan of country music but he has consented and agreed it might be fun.

Besides being a teacher Beth also has a catering company.  She's making dinner tonight.  She knows I like crab cakes and Scott and the boys don't.  They would rather have lasagna.  She says she will make both.  She may spend most of Christmas Eve Day in the kitchen.

Pete checked in with his Saturday call.  All the kids are coming for Christmas.  He hadn't talked to Brother Joe yet so figured he was still in bed or walking Pepper.
