This weekend was Lauren's first trip to Evansville and her first over night.  She was able to meet her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Sitzman and also opened some belated Christmas presents.  She was a perfect baby the entire weekend.  Here are a few pics from our trip.

On New Years Day, Bobby, Susan and Brooke came to town to meet Lauren.  Brooke loved meeting her new baby cousin and playing with DJ.  We took the girls to a photography studio and had their pictures made together.  We even managed to get a group picture made.  After pictures we went to the ICE display at the Opryland Hotel.  The theme this year was "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  It was neat to see it again this year.  We then went to the Opry Mills Mall to look for bargains.  Here are a few pics and some video.

Tom and Lois hosted Thanksgiving again this year.  Mike, Duanne and Grandma Kasal flew in from Colorado while Lyle flew in from Hawaii.  Close friends also came to dinner which was absolutely delicious. 

On Friday was the annual Miller Bonfire.  This was a special treat this year because Lyle was here to join in the festivities.  Though Grandma and I were under the weather, everyone had a good time drinking beer and roasting marshmellows.

Last night Karon had a Halloween party at her house.  She did an amazing job with the food and decorations.  We had eyeball peanut butter balls, grave yard brownies, couldron cheese dip and witches brew punch.  The kids played games and had face painting.  Everyone dressed up and we all had a very fun night.  Here are a few pics.

On Sunday we went to Karon's house for Lois' birthday dinner.  Karon made an excellent supper and a delicious ginger spice cake.  Here are a few pics of Lois with her cake and gifts.

This weekend Derek and I loaded up the car and DJ to head to West Virginia to see my parents.  It was a pretty relaxing weekend.  We did some shopping and then Mike and Debbie came for a visit too.  We had a cookout on Monday and then played some putt-putt golf.  Here are a few pics.
