Papa and Karen's

This was to be our last Christmas overnight at Papa and Karen's Terre Haute house.  They will be living in Indy fulltime next Christmas.  We had a wonderful time visiting, playing, relaxing, eating, opening gifts, having fun.  It's always fun to see all of Wayne's Christmas decorations.  I just know this annual tradition will hold a special place in the memories of our children. 

 

Evangeline got the fondue set she had been wanting.  Can't wait for those treats she's going to be making me! 

 

Jed was all about getting a science "wab" this year.  He pointed out every chemistry set he saw in his toy magazines that came in the mail.  Papa and Karen made that wish come true with a toddler lab and all kinds of experiments, a lab coat and glasses.  Jed was beyond excited. 

 

My goodness!  Jed was so excited about his lab set.  He couldn't wait to get it all set up and start doing experiments.  We decided to let him try out the vortex.  He was mesmerized and amazed.  

 

Morning cocoa before our big breakfast....

 

So much fun cousin time....

 

He wasn't happy about naptime, but it was an absolute necessity.  The bonus for me was that I got to nap with him.  

 

As we left Jed was crying and saying, "I don't want to leave the fun."
