My father was kind enough to host a barbecue on Sunday before we left Canada. He even came to pick our hung-over selves up from Toronto so Steven could snooze in the backseat (cheeky mention...sorry darling) and he and I could catch up. We wound up hitting the Beer Store (such a novelty for both Steven and I), Costco, and Fortinos (for some Roma Pizza!), before getting back to Dad's for some rest and relaxation before the party.
Sandra was over nice and early, we went for breakfast (Steven tried French toast for the first time...big hit, Canada...well done), bought some mocassins, and returned to Dad's for party prep. My mom and Doug came, as well as my Uncle Gary, Marcy, their three kids (Sarah [who came with her fiance, Kiel, who I met for the first time, at long last], Carmen [who is due to have a baby around my birthday...joys abound], and Mia), my grandparents, and my godparents, Ralph and Judy. It was quite the turnout. Though I wish I had taken a few more pictures, it felt somehow intrusive in such an intimate environment. Alas, we'll make due with what I do have...
Ralph and Judy
Mia
Nonna (looking young as ever) and Nonno (not so much so. Bless him...he really didn't want to come but managed to drag himself there. What a lovely man.)
My Mother and I
Sarah (wedding planning) and Carmen (baby planning)
The very citrusy Kiel and Sarah

Men in deep thought: My Dad and Ralph
Thank you all so much for coming out.
It was so lovely to see you all again, if only for a short afternoon. xxx
