I first want to apologize for the recent lag in posting. I'm sure my negligence is costing me some votes on Kurt's poll right now.:) But I do have a good excuse. This is finals week for me...and I probably shouldn't be posting right now...but I'll call it a study break, even though I haven't studied yet today.
That being said, I have no doubt that this post will put us back in the "best blog" running.:) Yes, I realize Kaitlin's birthday was October 22nd, but I am just now getting around to posting the pictures of her swingin' party. Pathetic, I know...especially because it was a really great night and very post-worthy.
We first toured the Lilly House and gardens. It's a beautiful historic estate house and grounds previously owned by the Eli Lilly family and is now next to the IMA (Indy Art Museum) and open to the public. Bryan and I brought Kait and Janessa and met Andria there. That night they had pumpkins out and people reading spooky Poe poetry throughout the house for Halloween. After that loveliness, we headed into the museum to see the Christian Dior display...you'll see some of his dresses in the slide show. (It's a little dim because flashes aren't allowed in the museum) For those of you in the area who haven't ever visited the IMA or the grounds, you should definitely do so. It's very well done and a lot of fun to walk through...particularly the Dior room. (Though that isn't Bryan's favorite display, and I have now made him see it twice):) Kaitlin (The Birthday girl) loved it though, and that's all that matters. I think Andria also got some sewing inspiration.:) When we were done there we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (as per Kait's request) and finished the night off with some pumpkin cheesecake...decorated for her birthday of course. I had too many pictures to post them like normal so I hope you enjoy the slide show...

Grand pictures!! I enjoyed eating out with you last night-- it always goes by way too fast. Well, I hope your last 3 finals go/are going well. Love ya!
Aww, it's fun to see them a few months later. It was a good time Kate...good choices. =o)
I had a really great birthday, thanks to all of you that planned it. I'm really glad you convinced me to drive to Indy. It was so great...really it was. I LOVE pretty old houses with cool gardens and stuff. The Cheescake Factory was a good memory as well. Thanks again Ash. I loved it and it was so sweet of you to plan it for me! (I'm glad I finally got to see the slideshow.)
