Birthdays in Chicago

04.14.2005

A belayed birthdays post. The Centellas family gathered in Chicago for the multiy-birthday extravaganza (total birthday years: 91). Saturday afternoon, we joined Mom & Dad at their hotel near O'Hare. Novalí was there, showing off her pink bicycle w/ training wheels, but still a bit shy around so many people. We did the traditional Centellas hotel experience: swimming pool & sauna, pizza & pop, and a movie. Before crawling off into our respective rooms (one for girls, one for boys).

Sunday brunch was great, w/ an excited Novalí opening presents & otherwise enjoying herself. I was surprised by a few actual gifts, including a copy of Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit (and I'll willing to take all comers, btw). All said, a nice April birthdays weekend. Here's another handful of pictures. Click to see larger.

I'm sorry, but your parents need to stop being cute

I wish I could of been there for more time. I never got to swim! I forget how often we tend to do the same things... like our hotel stays. We are very traditional in many ways when it comes to creating patterns.
