Canada Day Party

 

Juy 1, 2012 - Flags are hung and everyone is wearing red & white - just waiting for guests to come to our 3rd annual Canada Day party!

"Thank you Uncle Bulent - it is important to have a full tummy before the party gets started so I will be in a good mood."

"Again, Uncle Shaunee, again!!"

Mommy, Daddy and the mini Coupers.

Grampa, Uncle Shaun and the girls.

Lily shares her stickers with her friends from the building, Ever and Madison.

Daddy's contribution to the festivities...

These are gone within 30 minutes of putting on the table.

"Oh my goodness!" Lily exclaims.

What's a July 1st party without Canada day cookies...

...and Empire cookies!

Ever helps Abby give Amelia some milk before her nap while Rod watches.  Good practice because we just learned Ever is going to have a baby sibling in January!

Our friends from the building...Rod & Abby with Ever and Rose & Marcus with Madison (and baby Catelyn (at home with Grandma).

Our guests enjoy the BBQ feast.

"Hi Auntie Jilly, can I do your hair?"

"Why yes, Lily, of course..."

"I am thrilled to have you be my hairdresser..."

"...and will sit patiently while you put a couple of clips in my hair..."

 

"...a couple....or twenty."  Gorgeous!
