Christmas in Lafayette

The first leg of our midwest tour was West Lafayette, IN.  It was great to see most of the extended family together for a few days.  Aunt Ter and Elizabeth even made 4 black bottom pies for the day after Christmas.  Yum!

Opening presents

Work on the pies has begun

Grady was very sad to be blocked out of the kitchen

All the essentials...Diet Coke, Ceja Wine, Chocolate!

More opening of presents

Grandpa and Betty (with a little help from Grady of course)

Grady especially needed his coat this trip!

Chocolate is in...now comes the rum

Maybe a little drinking with your cooking?

The beautiful finished product

Aunt Ter even got a Purdue Aunt t-shirt this trip

The beginning of much snow that trip...and we had snow before we even got to the Midwest!
