jacob's birthday (263/365b)

ed gave me the special recipe box that belonged to my grandmother... i was very touched.

felix was desperate to own drew's purple chair, so he hid it, and offered to give it back if drew would sell it for 15 dollars, 7 of which he didn't have yet, so he was going to take out a loan from labeeby supposedly. he had all kinds of entrepreneurial ideas on how he was going to pay back the loan.

and we celebrated jacob's birthday a few days early...

uncle rick made glorious potato pancakes and i'm not sure all the walking in the world could have walked off all those glorious (and unglorious) calories

then the ed, robin, jacob, mary agnes crew went back home to their respective homes in ny, and we started planning our epic new years eve party for tomorrow.
