Who Invited This Guy?

Happy New Year!  On New Year's Day we went to eat at Chicago's Pizza in French Lick with some of Brady's family.  Then we went to see "Little Fockers" with his sister, Autumn, and her boyfriend, Nick.  It was a great movie, and we really enjoyed ourselves.  After the movie, the boys decided they wanted to do a little indoor go-kart driving at the new track.  There was a 30 minute wait, so we decided to try our luck at the casino instead.  

The French Lick Resort & Casino is a beautiful resort any time of the year but around the holidays, it is even more beautiful.  Autumn turned out to be our only winner in the casino.  She turned $1 into about $75.  It was a good night for her!  :)  After the rest of us lost some money, we went to look at the big Christmas tree that is always so beautifully decorated.  It didn't disappoint, so we took a few photos by the tree. 

Then, of course, we couldn't just take serious pictures.  Brady and Nick have a competition at Faye's house to see who can find the pickle in the Christmas tree.  For some reason, these two thought they would find the pickle in the French Lick tree.  

No such luck!  Instead, Nick decided to do this:

Brady and Nick decided to have a little fun on the escalator (think about the movie Elf), and this is the entertainment we were treated to:  

Then while we were walking through the hotel, we heard music from a wedding reception.  We knew that Brady and Autumn's cousin, Jodi, and her husband, Nathaniel, were attending his sister's wedding there, so someone, who is not married to me, decided to stick his head into the reception and take a look around.  He's pretty sure he saw Nathaniel dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe.  ;)  

Please ignore the double chin.  :)

We promise we're not stalkers, but it did sound like you guys were having a great time!  

It was a great way to begin 2011!
