Couple more poses before I changed out of the work outfit.

Went to my grandparents’ for Passover–and for the first time I could ever remember, I was the youngest present and got to read the four questions!
Enjoying the paperweight
I brought a chiffon cake made with matzo meal (safe for Passover) and we decorated it with candles for my grandpa’s birthday, which had only been the day before!

This is Corey. He lived with my parents at the time, so of course he was there for the festivities.

We had Heather (who used to live with my parents) and her younger sister Sam there too, and on my other side is my mom’s ‘Net friend Bill.
Dinner: Heather, Sam, Ivy, Bill
Gotta get the whole table! There’s the backs of Yuichi’s and Dad’s heads, and then you see Heather, Sam, and me (with my mouth full embarrassingly).
Dinner: Heather, Sam, Ivy
Rare shot! Mom almost never sits down, but there she is!
Dinner: Mom actually sat down
Yuichi plays piano, you know. Nice pose, guys.
Yuichi & Patricia
After the dinner, we all played a group game. Kind of a tradition in our house.
