Uncle Charlie and Aunt Sasha's Super Pretty Wedding

By Jake Parrillo
Earlier this year, we posted some photos of the wedding shower that the Morans' hosted out in Naperville for Aunt Sasha and Uncle Charlie ahead of their wedding this year.  And then in February, I posted some photos of a stop at Disneyland in Anaheim and mentioned that we were in California to celebrate Charlie and Sasha's wedding.  

But, now Charlie and Sasha have shared some of the photos their their photographer took of the day and there's a bunch with the kids that turned out really awesome.  

Here's little Sadie playing Uncle Charlie's Nintendo.  #GamerGirl, right?    This was in the "Groom's room" as everyone was getting ready.  Nat had the morning to her self and I took the kids down there to hang out for a bit.

Ellie and Sadie were both lucky enough to be asked to be flower girls.  Here they are in the dresses that Grammy made herself!

Along with the beautiful bride!

This is wedding #3 for the Moran original four.  What a family, eh?  (Especially the one that is second from the left!)

Natalie and I walked down the aisle as part of the wedding party.  I carried the Big Beef with us!


And there were two of the prettiest flower girls I've ever seen!

And one dapper dude in Frankie!

We even scored a really nice, new family portrait out of the deal!

The wedding and reception were *totally* Charlie and Sasha.  It was such a wonderful weekend that really spoke about who they are as a couple and allowed us all a peek into their relationship.  The venue was spectacular and everything from the fancy bartenders to the bourbon bar to the doughnuts late night was just perfect.

Nat and her sister Elise gave a little toast and killed it as we all knew they would.  Nat refused to sneak in a line about the Amana Colonies, but that's for a different time, I guess!


Congrats, Sasha and Charlie!  Thanks for letting the Parrillo clan be a small part in your amazing weekend!

2023 - Our Year In Review

By Jake Parrillo
Well, hello there.  By now, you've received our holiday card, spotted the url on the back and decided to come check out what's doin' on here.  Before, I get into the Year In Review, I'd like to acknowledge one item and call attention to an omission on our (giant) card.   First, they can't all be 'bangers' as the kids say.    Our Griswold-inspired Paris card last year that was art directed, costumed and created by Nat is pretty hard to beat.  This year, we stuck with the full-family photo on the front, but in a much less funny way.  And, second, the omission.   I was told (by leadership) that there "wasn't room" - on the back of the card - to offer our kind regards to those who celebrate Festivus.  That oversight has been made right with the amended corrected back-side of our card you can see below: Now, on to the 2023 Year in Review for the Parrillos. Milestones and Birthdays We have, somehow, a teenager (8th grade), an 11-year-ol...

2024 - Our Year in Review

By Jake Parrillo
Hi there.  By now, you've received our annual Christmas card and were curious enough to come visit this here spot on the Web to see what's doing.  Good news for you:  plenty was 'doin' with the Parrillo family this past year.  But, before we get into our Year in Review, I'd first like call attention to a couple things with our 2024 Christmas card.   While we will always have a hard time topping our Griswold-family-inspired card from 2022 , this year's card includes something novel:  artificial intelligence.   And that's fitting, right?  2024 sure seems like the "Year of AI".   The AI at play here is courtesy of Google Photos and their AI Magic Eraser.  Say goodbye, trampoline in the background.  Replaced with grass and trees.  Magic, indeed. Secondly....related to this year's card, I'd like to acknowledge an omission.  For the second year in a row, I've been told by "Leadership" that there simply isn't room ...

2022 - Our Year In Review

By Jake Parrillo
Well...hello there.  2022 was a banner year in the Parrillo household.  We had new experiences.  New growth.  New emotions.  And new fun.  Together as a family.  There's nothing more a guy like me could want:  three strong, independent and kind kids.  And the best leader-of-the-pack in Nat anyone could imagine.   Now...on to that Christmas card.  By now, you've already received it in the mail and that's why you're here.  I'm sure you saw the photo.  And, you either laughed.  Or....wondered what the heck is going on? I'm certain that *some* of you are in on the joke, right?  This was a little moment of joy in 2022 when Nat surprised us all with these embroidered berets right on the spot in Paris this Summer.  What's the inspiration?  None other than Clark and Ellen and family on their trip to Europe in the 1980's. Alright...now with the yucks out of the way, let's talk about 2022.  Despite my b...
