I had two giant bags since I was schlepping stuff back to NYC from LA via Chicago, but I got to baggage claim and my bags were already out and circling the conveyor belt.
Most efficient airport ever!
I stepped out of the airport and my face almost instantaneously fell off.
10 degrees Fahrenheit. You would never be able to tell from how sunny it was.
We arrived in Lake Forest and the ground was covered in beautiful winter snow.
This is pretty much all we would see of the outdoors as we decided to spend the rest of the weekend hibernating and eating our faces off.
Cookies and cheesecakes were in the works...
And then Toni showed up rocking a sweet new ring!
Another day, another engagement!
Wine was opened to celebrate.
Dinner on night one was Chinese Hot Pot.
Personally I am not a huge fan of fondue or shabu shabu or korean bbq or any meal where I have to cook my own food at the dinner table because A.) I am super lazy and B.) I feel like the time and energy I expend waiting for each bite-sized piece to cook makes me even hungrier and I never get full.
Also raw meats and seafoods are kind of vile. Gizzards anyone?
But whatever. It was enjoyable. And in the end deliciously satisfying.
We also played a ton of board games all weekend.
Scrabble, Boggle, and Scattergories mainly.
I love food-filled family reunions.
