Next stop - Indiana - to Brooke & Chad's house to stay through New Years.

Tanner played his baritone for us.... and Kaden and Trevor sang.... We had another Christmas with the Monroes, opening their presents & seeing them open ours. We have had a tradition of giving an ornament to our grandkids each year and this year we gave them individual letters that hooked together & spelled out their name.

Of course we had to go & play with all the RC toys and footballs, etc. that the boys got - so we loaded into the car & went to the church - in the big cultural hall to play. At Chad & Michelle's house I had learned how to make FLUBBER. So, we HAD to make Flubber for these guys... they loved it! For New Years, Brooke & Chad's friends- who also have 5 boys- came from Louisville, KY & we all had fun toasting in the New Year!!!

On New Year's Day we had a wonderful dinner-

But... all good things must come to an end... Chad had to go back to work, boys had to go back to school, & so we helped Brooke take down the Christmas decorations & de-ornament the trees. They have 3 trees in their house, so the one in the upstairs family room was fun... Papa & the boys just threw it out of the upstairs window!! Thanks to our children over 6 weeks and 3 states for helping us to LOVE this Christmas holiday by getting to spend it with all of you! We had such a memorable time! We love you ALL !
