So, time is officially up (for glasses and for the competition)


Over $200 later (which, we figured, is only $5 per person per meal, so not really that bad at all), plus we made up $25 in lottery tickets....


... an absurd amount of eggs and calories were consumed.


Piles of old photos and albums were poured over.


And finally....

The winner is... GREG!
