Road Trip!

We loaded up the van and went to visit Murray's family recently and spent a busy weekend there! As soon as we arrived, the kids immediately started asking where Mr. Bojangles was, when he was coming, how much longer til the got there! They were quite anxious to see their little cousin!

On Friday night we all went to a hockey game (except Lovey & Sweetie who stayed home to bake with Nanny). Honey got to sit with Mr. B so she was happy. It was almost enough to make Sweetie want to go to the game but not even for Mr B could she bring herself to attend (but it was close!).

On Saturday I went to photograph my friend's 10 day old baby boy. He was adorable and Princess Pamela is the very proud grandmother! It was a long session as he wasn't very interested in being a sleepy, easy to pose baby LOL  We worked around that and I have lots of adorable shots to show Alisa when the baby gives her a chance :)

After the shoot, I raced back for a lovely roast beef dinner but had to rush and didn't have time for seconds on my mashed potatoes! As a Christmas gift, we took Andrew, Mandy, Karen & Paul and went to see a comedian, have a few drinks and lots of laughs! It was nice to have time together away from the craziness of the kids and do grown up stuff!

Meanwhile, back at the farm house, Nanny & Grampy had all 4 kids to themselves! Equally exciting for them I'm sure :))) Everyone was very excited about the big sleepover but not so interested in the sleeping part. Mayhem and flying stuffed animals ensued. Eventually they fell asleep because it was pretty quiet by the time we got in.

On Sunday Andrew & Rick had planned a big brunch of eggs, sausage, toast, bacon and it was quite a spread!!! I don't recall seeing either one man the fry pan but we still ate well thanks to Nancy's culinary intervention!

Lovey treated us to a concert while we waited for lunch time and she had an assistant to hold her music for her which she quite enjoyed!

We had a great visit and good weather for driving and you can't ask for more than that! thanks for the royal treatment Nanny & Grampy!
