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!

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.

My dad’s parents came to our house for a visit.

Here we all are! On the left side, that’s Yuichi (the guy sister P was dating), my grandmother, me, sister Lindsay, sister Patricia, Dad, and my grandfather.

Later that night, there was a dinner. There’s Corey, Lindsay, Patricia, Yuichi, and Dad helping themselves.

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).

Rare shot! Mom almost never sits down, but there she is!
Dinner: Mom actually sat down
Yuichi plays piano, you know. Nice pose, guys.

After the dinner, we all played a group game. Kind of a tradition in our house.

Here’s the first of many gift-opening shots. Mom and me.
My friend James visited me from Alabama and brought his friend Chris who is hilarious. We played PlayStation a lot, went to Napolitano’s to sing karaoke (where Chris sang Adam Sandler’s “Ode to My Car,” to everyone’s shock and amazement), and went out to eat a lot.
