Penny and Libby (and Barbie)

Penny (aka Mike and Kristin's perfect pooch) played with Libby on Saturday night - both had a lot of fun running around, giggling, and of course playing with dolls:

I love how their ponytails match!

Two Toots Railroad Restaurant

While in the 'burbs of Chicago we visited a neat little train-themed restaurant called 2 Toots. The restaurant has model trains running through the dining area to bring food out from the kitchen, which would be reason enough to visit again. But what I really love about this restaurant are the burgers (pressed thin so that the edges get crisp) and the milkshakes (thick, creamy, served in metal mixing cup). Delicious!

Thanks Alison, Matt, and Ethan

We spent the last few days invading Matt and Alison's house and were sad to leave (even though we probably overstayed our welcome :) ). Here Libby is giving Ethan one last hug before departing:

I'll post a few more pics over this week from other activities we did.

Gluttonfest V: The Empire Snack Packs

This is the fifth Gluttonfest competitive eating contest Vincent and I have held. The playing field this time is a ten pack of White Castle hamburgers each. The first to finish their ten pack, without any food intake reversal, wins.

We were tied before this match - Vincent won the first two matches (meatball subs and breadsticks) while I won the second two matches (ben & jerry's ice cream and girl scout thin mints).

IU Basketball

New Years Eve we went down to IU with Brent and Heather to watch some Hoosier basketball. It was nice to be on campus, a free hotdog and popcorn were included in the ticket price, and IU won. It was a great trip:
