Thanksgiving in Illinois

Luke, Kristin, and I traveled home for Thanksgiving. These pics are of our shopping trip with Papaw on Black Friday. We got Carman a snow suit, and let the kids ride the rides at the Mall. This is just about the only thing to do in Newton! In fact, you have to travel all the way to the big town of Effingham to do that!

Smile Luke! Papaw is more excited than you, I think! My gosh, does he love this little boy!

LUke made friends at McDonald's. He is inspecting how the Lego's go together. He is an investigative lil' guy.

Carman and Luke chowing down on their Mickey D's. Papaw did a great job getting the kids all settled in, and even put Luke's straw in the apple juice. Way to be a good sport, Papaw.
