tim has some cousins who visit this weekend from san jose every year and have for like the past 15 years! they have lots of sacred traditions when they visit and we had such a great time catching up with them, last year we had to miss b/c declan was just born. friday is always lunch at the berghoff, downtown shopping, the big marshall fields, having an "executive cocktail" (i just learned this one) at cote d'azur at the drake, and a very special dinner out selected by cousin patrick (petterinos this year). saturday is more shopping and eating, this year brought out walker brothers for breakfast and the carsons ribs and malnatis pizza for dinner. tim and patrick also felt the need to pick up a few buckets of ice cream too - i should have jenny craig on speed-dial after this! sunday was a a tour and visiting the unique shops up north in lake forest and highland park. and the rest of the extended family came for dinner to celebrate the birthdays of aunt meg and declan.

showing off his cutest(!) new christmas pj's from the humphreys
kind of hilarious.... it was someone's idea to get the 5 squirmy kids in their matching pj's with grandpa who is in his 90s. in our heads i think it was going to be like a ll bean catalog photo but they look more like naughty elves.
poor grandpa is a little stunned by the activity.
one second before he put his little finger directly IN the candle, ouch - we didn't see that one coming! no visible burns and after a few tears he was ok, i think he was more scared of our reaction.

i do believe Declans first word may be CAKE. he definitely has the cake eating technic down. dont be surprised when he's disappointed he doesn't get a cupcake this week. the pic of all the kids in their cute p.j.'s is hilarious.
