Christmas Day

We had a perfect day today! Rob and I picked up Kitty about 10:30 and then set out. First we stopped at Cathy and Mike's house where they were with their five children and maybe 12 grandchildren (lots of kids... I didn't count). We had a very nice visit with all of them between their breakfast and Christmas dinner.  Next stop... Sharon and Jim's. Sharon was cooking in preparation for their big meal with their kids and grandkids, but Mary and her son, Todd, were there, too. We had appetizers and an adult beverage (not Rob because he was our driver). Our last stop was Charles and Adrienne's house where it was so very quiet compared to yesterday. Trudy was there with her three kids and two grandbabies. Adrienne had made lentil soup, tortilla soup, and some incredible cornbread. We ate there and sat outside by the pool before heading home. It's so nice to spend Christmas with family, although we did miss Joe, Mary Jane and their gang who are all on the west coast. And then of course, there's Charles and Karen in Tanzania. A merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
