Happy No Tree....!!

You would think that the title of this post is kinda different for this picture.
Well, it's a little weirder. "Happy no tree" has absolutely nothing to do with this tree, any other tree, or no tree. It is Tristan's way of saying happy anniversary! It was James' parents anniversary a couple of days ago. Cathy phoned her parents to wish them a happy anniversary and gave Tristan the phone and told him to say it as well. It came out, "Happy no tree"! It was quite funny.
We are so blessed to have such good parents. They are so very nice and have sacrificed much for others, especially for their family. It is so nice to have parents whom you always feel loved by. Thank you mom and dad for all that you do. And thank you for the love you share for one another. You are wonderful examples to us. We hope you had a wonderful anniversary...or as Tristan puts it, a happy no tree!!

Happy Halloween

My big Shrek and Little Red Riding Hood! We went trick or treating in our Close and down two streets. It took us 2 whole hours. But boy was it fun! The kids were so good. The weather was beautiful. Our neighbourhood was really nice. And of course our two little ones were sooo cute! Halloween has never been a favorite holiday of mine. However, with nights like tonight, Halloween may make some leaps to come close to the top. (Nothing will ever top Christmas though!!!)




Little Red, that we couldn't get to smile.



Enjoying some of the goods!!


Elwood and Betty. Our wonderful neighbours that welcomed us into the neighbourhood right away. They have been so good to us.




We went to our friends, Robin and Sarah Curtis', who are dear to our hearts, after trick or treating. We had a good visit with them while Aidan visited with their cat Purrsy (or Percy, I am not sure). Even their cat was in the Halloween spirit!




Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday to my sweetheart!! He loves gummy candies. So, because of this we made dirt cake for him. Love you hun!
