FUN AND GAMES

No photo's yet.
I forgot my camera but took some old photo albums.

What an amazing family!
I am thankful for each and everyone!
Missing those not able to join us.
Rick, Carol and Panteli, Tasha and Justice, Randy 
Susan and Christopher.

Kim did an awesome job moving furniture to fit in a very long table and cook up a wonderful feast of salmon and many vegetable dishes and salads.  Sandra brought lasagna prepared by Randy as well as cauliflower bread and oatmeal squares.  Leah and Craig brought desert which included GF chocolate cake! Others brought dishes too.  It was a nice surprise to be joined by an old friend of Theresa's with her husband and two young boys who have moved to Ladner.  Also Sandra brought her new friend who helps with walking Peanut.

I am so thankful for all the good cooks working hard to prepare special appetizers etc. 

I am thankful for all the left-overs we brought home as I find it hard to get into cooking as both dad and I have lost a lot of our appetites.  I think it is my same old cooking that does not help.

A very long table but Kim was determined we share.what we are thankful for.  We were all thankful for Hamlet able to join in and help and add to the lively discussions.

Sandra was thankful for her new home finally feeling more like home which is a big step.  It has been painted on the inside and outside and flowers are growing in the front and the back.  A new room will be fixed up for the future kittens with no rug!

We were all thankful for the people who have supported us especially through difficult times.  We are thankful for new life that Ophelia and the other two boys contributed with energy and curiosity. Ophelia is very curious now she can walk and talk with her own language.

Lots of words from the heart combined with hard work and enthusiasm.

A time to express our love and appreciation for each other!

Wonderful to be hugged by Morgan and get caught up in her active life of swimming and biking and soccer and dancing.  

Fun and games will always be the theme of our gatherings with a welcoming spirit for all.

Another busy dad for dad and I off to church and then down load pictures from his camera.

Megan is actually Kimberly's friend that she met on her school trip to China. She was doing animal sitting back then so Kimberly suggested her to me when she was not able to one day.

It was certainly another loud busy dinner. If you had your hearing aids in you would have to turn them down.

Yes, on the video Kimberly sent it sounded like a busy restaraunt. OPhelia is soooo cute.

Yes, I never knew who she was but I heard her talk about dog walking.

Yes, we will have to learn to turn our hearing aids down when er try them again.

It was a lot of fun.
