Family Reunion in Chicago

Last weekend, Ben and I went to Chicago to see some of my dad's relatives. He had 5 of his 7 siblings in one place, which doesn't happen very often. My dad's oldest sister, Gloria and his first cousin Aurora were visiting from the Philippines. It was fun to see everyone, even though our stay was very short. I will try to name everyone in the pictures below, but I can't promise that spelling will be correct!


It wouldn't be a Philippino party without tones of food!

From L to R: Steve, Bridget, Joy, Jessica, Ben, Rick, and Eleanore

This wasn't the best picture, but the best one that we got. Only 5 of the 6 present siblings are in the picture. Tita Gloria, Dad, Tita Rebekka, Tita Tessie and Tito Nel. Tito Boy wasn't there yet ("Tita" means Aunt, and "Tito" means Uncle).
Back Row (L to R): Tita Janette and Joy
Middle Row (L to R): Tita Tessie, Tita Gloria, Tita Rebekka, Bridget, Jessica, Rick, Eleanore, and Aurora (my Dad's cousin)
Bottom Row (L to R) Tito Nel, Tito Lito, Steve, Gus (my dad), and Jean (my mom).

Here is a picture of some of the cousins:
