A White County Christmas

After the always mandatory meal at Dimaggio's Pizza in Carmi, IL, we decided to drive around a bit and look for Christmas lights. We stumbled upon an event going on down at Main Street. Several "actors" were doing skits and there was singing. We decided to stop and check it out. We visited the museum (didn't even know Carmi had one) and Riley got her picture taken on a church pew in the upstairs of the old Haas store building. Shortly after "Scrooge" came through in his night cap and gown. It was a fun time.

Lots of Cheese!

Riley was so cool in her Dora sunglasses that I had to get a picture before she ran in to school. Then after school I let her pick where she wanted to eat and of course it was her new favorite, "Los Portales". You'll note the napkin trail from the dip to her mouth. That keeps it from dripping on the table. She can eat her weight in dip.  I also cracked up at the ladies hair in the background of the picture.  Her hair makes almost a cone on top!

Fall Festival Pictures

My parents and brother's family came for our church fall festival at the farm this year. Riley enjoyed playing with Taylor and Reese. Unfortunately we couldn't get them all in one place at one time to do a good picture.
