Happy New Year Eve! Let's look forward to 2013. Rose, Shirley, and I still have Brayden though today we're sharing him with Chris and Shelly. Chris came by early and took him to work with him. I'm sure Chris wanted show him off and to show him where he works. After they were finished at Uncle Chris's place of employment, they were meeting Aunt Shelly at the zoo which is her place of employment. They were going on a tour and then having lunch at a Buffalo Wild Wings place. Then he and Aunt Shelly are going ice skating. We have to take Brayden halfway to Louisville tomorrow and are certainly going to miss having him.
We got a lot of us together for a family dinner last night at a place called The Brick House in Chesterfield. We had a great group. Attendees were: Margaret, Sabrina, Dave, Alex, Chris, Shelly. Drew and Nancy his mother, Shirley, Rose. Brayden and myself. We ate well and visited a lot and there were several TV's with volume turned down for those keeping track of the Rams football game.
Rose will post pictures later.
I'm not sure everyone knows Lydia is back from Jordan. With all going on in that part of the world, we are happy to know she had a good experience anyway and is home safe.

On the Road Again
I'm back from Louisville with Brayden after spending several days with Scott and the boys, including Christmas. Beth flew back to Kansas City on Christmas Day to spend time with her family and then flew back to Louisville Saturday while Scott drove Brayden and me half way to St. Louis and Goldman met us to take us to Rose and Shirley's where we get to keep him a few days. Scott and Beth will spend New Year's in Nashville. He's still in bed this morning and tends to sleep in.
Rose and Shirley had company from Indiana while I was gone who saw some bad weather coming so delayed their trip a day but I still missed them. This was some of Shirley's relatives but I knew them. I was riding in the car when Pete and Janet called and the call broke up. I called back yesterday and Janet had had a good week and they had a good Christmas. Merri's girls had helped with the dinner. It was colder in Idaho than it was here.
I'll have more 'Family Gagette' to post tomorrow.

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.
