Please tell your sisters and brothers, the in-laws, your children, friends and neighbors to visit this site. It's frustrating to write for only one or two people to view!

Incredible Spring Break

Kali, her sisters, and one lucky guy (Jasmine's boyfriend Eric) had a great time in Tennessee on Kali's Senior Year Spring Break. As with tradition, the girls and their friends enjoy spring break with the Burns in Tennessee, much thanks to the Burns. All have wonderful memories of their first vacation without mom and dad watching over them.

Sisters Weekend Video

It's out! The video from the Sister's Weekend, attended by Judy and Linda, is out! Shown on the video are Linda and Judy having fun drinking wine, working out, drinking wine, and drinking wine (just kidding!). I'll try to attach the pics later but ask Judy to see the pics.
Hopefully more sisters can go next year for this incredible bonding event.

Janna's Bridal Shower

Just got the invite -- Janna's bridal shower is Saturday, April 12 at 1 p.m. at Sue's house, hosted by Deanna. She's registered at Boston Store, Target, and Bed, Bath and Beyond. We can't wait!

Tennessee Spring Break

A new tradition in our family (with many, many thanks to Aunt Alice and Uncle Den) is during our daughters' spring break of their senior year in high school, the girls choose a friend and go to Tennessee for a vacation, staying with Aunt Alice.
This year Kali is a senior. Her best friends are her sisters, so the girls will be going to Tennessee together.
Many, many thanks to Alice and Denny, not only for hosting the girls, but also for Tammy and Louie's days of rest!!!

Briana Denison

You've probably heard about that awful tragedy involving Briana Denison in Reno, Nevada. Since we have relatives in Texas, it made me wonder if there might be any relationship to our Den(n)ison family. Briana was the daughter of Bridgette and Jeffrey Denison. Can anyone tell me the names of our family in Texas, and their children and grandchildren's names? Are we related to a Jeffrey Denison?
I know there was a Judy Denison there.

-------------------

Although it was good to see Denny and Alice, Shona, Lance and Michelle and Brett and his girlfriend, the circumstance was less than perfect. Hopefully we'll all get together again under better circumstances next time.

But beware Dennison inlaws -- death seems to travel in three.

Prom

For those not living in Evansville, the town has a big controversy going on: Prom. A group of kids came forward to plan this year's High School Junior Prom and planned it for out-of-town, at a country club in Lake Windsor. Well, the rest of the class wasn't happy. (I don't have a junior this year, so it really doesn't matter to me.)

So, that brings me to the subject, Prom. Did you go to Prom in Evansville? What was it like? Who did you go with? Was it a Junior or Senior prom? Did you go out to eat? What did you spend on the dress, etc? Was it magical?

Nowadays, girls spend between $150 and $300 on a dress, plus get their hair, makeup and nails done, then they go out to eat, sometimes go in on a limo with a few other couples, and after the Prom go out for breakfast. It can total well over $500 for one night. Some people think this is ridiculous. What do you think? Please note if you went or if you have children who went when commenting.

March

March is a slow month in the Dennison family. We have only one event this month, but it's a big one: Alice and Denny's 35th anniversary on March 3, 1973.

Something I never realized -- the Dennison family had three weddings in a matter of three months -- first was Sue and Dave on Dec. 1, 1972, then Becky and Curt on Feb. 14, 1973 and shortly thereafter, Alice and Denny on March 3, 1973. As a Mom with four living daughters, I can only say, "Please God, no." Could it be there may be something to be said for double, or triple weddings! Or maybe it's a blessing to do it all at once?
Another tidbit I did not know, just like Tammy and Louie, Becky and Curt were also married on Valentines Day. Their marriages were 13 years apart.

Elementary School





(Click on the class pic to enlarge it!)
Ahh... elementary school. What wonderful memories! Thanks to Dawn for forwarding me this school pic of Linda, Bev and Art Dennison at Pleasant Prairie School in Union Township, WI. I've also cropped individual pics of Linda, Bev, and I think, Art. Let me know if I am wrong on Art!
The first thing I noticed is that Tonia is the spitting image of Bev! The second is how much Lindsay Weber looks like Linda. The third is how much Cole looks like Art. The last thing I noticed is how skinny the Dennison children were.
If everyone can post the names of the other kids, I'd submit it to the Evansville Review for publication -- I think there are other Evansville families who would like to see this.
