update: sister reunion

i haven't blogged in quite a while. so, here's an update of what's been goin' on. my sisters flew in from montana last tuesday afternoon, so i spent the next 5 days hanging out with them! it was awesome! we had so much fun together and i'm so glad to be able to share my gorgeous lovelies with everyone. here's their trip in a nut shell:

this was just after they'd arrived. we went to get chad after work. aren't they beautiful?! keiko is in the middle, and kai is on the right.

that night we went to cafe iberco down town. it was a good time and a great first night in chicago for them.

keiko didn't really like the looks of the mexican sausage. except for chad it grossed all of us out a little. sausage is weird like that~especially a plate full of it.

the smoked salmon with dill cream cheese was pretty good. chad had never had it before, and we enjoyed it.

i don't know why, but this is my favorite iberco dish. i normally don't care for goat cheese; but with the marinara it's wonderful.

these fancy cheese stick thingies were really good too.

after that we headed to see the sights at night. of course we stopped by rock n' roll McDonald's. we all got at least one pose in.

i was flirting with this b-ball guy. chad beat his face in. now that's love.

the next day we went to the beach. it was so relaxing and nice. i think these pics are my favorite.

i love this pic. i wish it hadn't turned out blue.

later we went to navy pier. also very nice.

then we ate at giordono's. kai loved it.

then burnin' some time is boy's town. chad pretended to pick his nose.

then finally the blue man group. very cool.

the next day we met kate for lunch. the twins are growing so fast. i miss them already!

also during their time here we, of course, had to go to millennium park. the bean is sweet.

we walked with claire.

after a quick ride home and a shower, we got all dolled up for sushi at sushi wabi.

this place has the best sushi i've ever eaten. it's so delicious! keiko and kai rated it their best meal in chicago. thanks wabi!

after sushi we walked around down town, soaking in the beautiful chicago evening.

on their last day here, we just wrapped things up by hitting some stores the girls wanted to check out one last time. top it off with a final pic.

i had so much fun with my sisters when they were here. kake and keebs~thanks for a great time. i love you tons!!!
