We started the visit off at Judy's house for Christmas eve and Christmas morning. We enjoyed a few eggnogs while we were there. Next we headed to the Bacon Christmas. Unfortunately I did not get any photos from these events. I guess I am a little camera shy with the Bacons/Danielsons. Sorry about that, I will try to get better. For our third Christmas of the day, we went to my Uncle David's. Here we see Dad and David excited about the new loot Dad got for his man cave.
We spent Christmas night at Kalow and Mandi's due to its proximity to David's house. Here we have the Huff siblings enjoying their Christmas night.
The next day was Christmas celebration time at Mom and Dad's. Our newest tradition is to go bowling, which we all enjoy, followed by dinner at the Hacienda which also all enjoy. Look how much fun we are all having.
Here is Mandi after throwing a rock.
I must have thrown a rock here myself.
While we were back in Indiana, Ian and I wanted to head back to West Lafayette and hit up our favorite restaurant from our golden years.
Here we see Ian found his way back to Purdue.
And then found his way back to our favorite restaurant, Khana Khazana. Mom came with us, and we met up with Frank and Allison for this delicious Indian lunch buffet. Thanks again to Frank for treatin us.
I convinced Mom to stand by the fountain and get her picture taken, but I had to promise her fame on the Hokieville website. She took the bait.
We had a few days of nothing much planned to hang out in Indy. We spent a lot of time at Andy's house, and a little time at Judy's. We were sure to be at Judy's for her dog Lucy's big birthday celebration. Lucy has lived with Judy and John for an entire year now. Here is Lucy blowing out her birthday candle.
And here is her pretty cake.
Lucy wasn't the only one with a birthday celebration. We all ventured out to the Golden Corral for Judy's birthday lunch on New Years Eve. Later that evening, we went to dinner with my grandma Rosie, and then headed back to Mom and Dad's house for a relaxing New Year's at home. Here are some folks who are really excited to celebrate New Years in the fancy hats that Mom made.
We then moved the New Years party out to the man cave. Hey, there is a lady in the man cave! Don't worry, shes allowed.
Also, Kalow made some last minute desparate attempts to make it on Hokieville. Here we see him waving goodbye, and also holding a purse. Welp, he made on Hokieville alright.
Did our fun at home stop there?! No, it did not. We still had a wedding to attend. My good friend Ashley got married on Jan 2nd. Here she is looking beautiful at her ceremony with her new husband Matt.
And at the reception we all got little tiny Colorado Blue Spruce tress to plant to remember the day. Cute idea, huh?
Well, I know that was a whole lot of postin' about our time at home, but we sure did do a lot while we were there. We were really glad we got to see everyone. We had a great time and we can't wait to see everyone again. Miss you already! Happy 2010!

Looks like Kalow is world famous now. Hokieville and the New York Times. I better hire an agent! Enjoyed the post! Mandi
hey Karleigh, viewing the latest posting really brought back some very happy memories of this past season... one of the best to date.
I was glad to see you got Susie by the fountain without too much bribing.
I am however disappointed in your choice of favorite restaraunt. If the Khana Khazana is really an Indian eatery, why isn't it named after some real Indians; like, "Miami Diner", "Shawnee Inn" or even "The Illini Pug & Grub"? Did this place offer authentic cuisine like; mutten stew, braised bison heart, corn & hominy, navaho style rice, steamed cattails, buffalo stew w/ fry bread crust, or my personal favorite, sheeps head, and perhaps your favorite, green bean soup? I didn't think so!
If any of these items were on the menu, perhaps your poor mother wouldn't had suffered the hershey squirts...just thinkin'.
love the post, love you too!
Your Dad did his Indiana history lesson to research the Indian cuisine of Indiana. To bad its the woo woo's not the naru's.
Hey Dude, where did you get the hippie sign? I want one now.
