Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!!!

Soooooo much to be Thankful for this last year, we have had family members come through some scary health issues, we have had good health with the rest of our families and friends, I am back working full time at the place I have always wanted to work (and loving it), we have been able to start getting excited about China as it inches closer to us everyday, all in all it has been a great year and we are so Thankful to be here happy and healthy.

This year we wet to Amy's for dinner on Saturday (also celebrated Meghan's 3rd birthday) and we went to my Mom and Dads on Sunday. As we were in the kitchen at my Moms I actually stopped and thought (and said out loud) next year there will be a highchair at the table!!!! OMG can you believe it?? It is so unreal LOL - can't wait!!

We also rec'd a call on Sunday telling us our crib was in!! My parents bought our crib for Mhyia and it is sooooo beautiful!!!! Mike and John headed over to pick it up and returned with it - we realized it may be easier to get it up the stairs if we take it out of the large box - well as luck would have it it was damaged :( Back to the store it went and another one has been special ordered. That was not so great but either way we have another one on order and hopefully the next one will be fine!!

Dora Cake

Well I took a stab at a character cake and Voila!! I must say I was nervous but I think it turned out great and although VERY time consuming I love doing them- so fun!!



This cake was actually for my Father-in-laws 65th birthday...LOL... with some of the grand kids being so young he decided to make it a Dora theme - they got backpacks and even went on an adventure with their maps! It was really cute.

June 9th - also Pat's Birthday


June 9th is also Pat's (Mike's mom) birthday - yes her son passed away on her birthday - awful.

For the last 2 years we haven't really gotten together to celebrate her birthday but this year we did. I am so glad because we miss Kevin dearly and it is a hard day but it is still her birthday and she deserves a celebration whether big or small. The last time we were all together as a family with Kevin was on the Saturday before he passed away and we were all at his house celebrating her birthday so I am glad this year we have started celebrating again.

We had dinner at Lisa's and I made the cake - it was a great get together!
