Old Oaken Bucket Game

On Saturday, Nov. 27th, my family made the trip to West Lafayette for the Old Oaken Bucket football game!  

We left early enough to do a little tailgating and socializing before the game...

Me and my dad before the game...

It wouldn't be complete without the World's Largest Drum

Doug and I...

We had a great time, even though the Boilers weren't able to put a W in the end

Until next time...

Reba's Birthday with the Bergman's

On Friday after Thanksgiving, we were able to celebrate Reba's birthday with Gram, Pa, and Aunt Josie.  Gram ordered a special cake for the occasion, and it was a big hit with Dallas Reba

Thanksgiving at the Rosenfeld's

Thanksgiving day started at the Rosenfeld's before heading to the Robertson's.  Reba was spoiled with some birthday presents as well...

Reba giving that "what is it" look...

Yea! A new Colts' outfit!

 Getting in the spirit of ripping the paper...she'll be great by the time Christmas is here

A beautiful warm, fuzzy outfit

Reba's favorite part ~ suckers!

And here she is enjoying her very first sucker...

I even made my world famous pumpkin pies ~ they were a big hit as usual

Dallas got this great magnet toy from his great aunt; it will be fun on those long car rides

Until next time...

NAILE

The kiddos and I headed to Indiana on Nov. 13 in order to spend time there for Reba's birthday and Thanksgiving.  Our first event while there - the North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE) held at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, KY.  Daddy even came over from Evansville to spend the day with us!  Here are a few pictures from our day out...

Reba lovin' on some sheep

(no, my parents didn't take their sheep, we just went to see who we would know and do a little Christmas shopping!)

Dallas even "cowboyed up" and rode a bull!

Dallas and I waiting his turn - note the glove

The kiddos loved the petting area - especialy these ducks going down the slide

Dallas also really enjoyed the rabbits.

Until next time...
