We are thrilled to have the Chibry family stay with us for the weekend. They travelled {thru the evening} all the way from Calgary for a visit. Looking forward to some Dee-Ann snuggles for Coco, late night visiting to catch up, mommy's little helper drinks, a tour of Oxbow, playtime for the kids with Kaeden, scotchy scotch drinks for the guys and lots more. {A shout out to Shelby who couldn't make the trip...we miss you.}

One of my favorite days of the year...when parents get to watch at dance class. It's so special to watch our little dancer show off her moves.

We had fun completing this family fun book together for Ace's homework. I loved watching him sketch something for the question on each page...that's our little artist, so proud.

Tonight, Channy Amber & I headed into Estevan to attend the Obviously Chic 1 year anniversary party. Cocktails, appetizers & a fashion show...it was a well attended event and I picked up a few great items from this favorite store. It was great to chat with Jess the owner who I have gotten to know over the past year and coincidentally has the nickname 'Coco'! So glad we put on our fave shoes and took part in the festivities.

Some random guy saw us taking this photo on the street and wanted in on the shoe paparazzi.

Happy Halloween!

It's been a while since I went Trick or Treating on a Sunday. Ace, Scarlett & I headed out this afternoon together.

Hit the streets with my princess & ghostbuster.

Visited our neighbors house.

Daddy & Coco stayed home to hand out treats.

Visited Auntie Amber's house where Gingie (Kyra) was handing out treats.

THE best costume of the year, Cruella (Rose) & her pups.

Unique Halloween sunset.

Thanksgiving 2010

A few weeks ago my parents hosted Thanksgiving. It was then that we had our very first family of 5 photo taken.

And while the ol' chair was in the backyard the kids had fun taking a few more photos.

Nana cookin' in the kitchen...she is so good at makin' a turkey dinner happen.

And for dessert, I was happy to provide fresh baked apple pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!

She wore sparkly purple shoes.

What a great weekend! Scrapbooking & crafting at the lodge in Kenossee Lake was such a wonderful way to spend some downtime. I'm so lucky to have a family who knows how important it is for this Mommy to take time for herself.

Peggy, who put on the retreat, outdid herself once again! It was so nice to be treated to her meals and goodies like the cinnamon bun bunt cake below. Thanks and I look forward to the next retreat in March 2011.
