Christmas in Chicago


We enjoyed Christmas weekend at home with my parents.
For once, we got some nice shots of the four of us as a family.



There was lots of bonding going on. Here Rockam is all comfy-cozy with his Gramps on the couch. Not long after this photo was taken, Rockam fell asleep on my dad.


Stephen flops on Grammy and Gramps.


If big brother can do it, so can Rockam!


Rockam also got to know his mom's cousin Jon... who happens to be very good with little kids.


The Wong cousins with the Parrinos.


I made a flurry of curly scarves this year for presents.


Brothers in matching pjs.


It's the simple things in life that make us happy.



And, boy, did we eat well! That's spinach salad, korean bbq wings, puerto rican pasteles (like tamales, but with green banana instead of corn masa.) This plate is actually from the day after Christmas.


We also had guacamole, hummus, lasagna and broccoli salad. And, though I didn't photograph it, we ate our Swedish feast on Christmas Eve, complete with limpa, pickled herring, Swedish meatballs, lingonberries, potato sausage, smoked salmon, and pickled cucumber salad.


Stephen loves his Grammy and Gramps!
