Canada


I went over to Canada in time for Savannah's 2nd Birthday 26th June

Of course there were a few treasures in the suitcase when Nan arrived:-)

Jess had sent the girls Lamb Backpacks for their birthdays


Savannah's Birthday was the next the day, They were on Skype with Aunty Jess


Roxy hired a bubble making machine for the party.
Cute NZ Tee-shirts


Parcel time, Savannah got given a toy camera so Nikita took on the job of being the chief photographer, it was so cute:-) She's say 'wait I need to get a photo' so they'd pose till she'd clicked the shot:-)


Funny facials


Birthday cake time
She was so cute she sat there eating her cake until ever last crumb was eaten and everyone had long gone to play



These were some of the photos I took of her while I was there


Little miss cutie

Party time


Lillian gave the girls pushchairs for the birthday. They also got high heels which were a highlight:-)


We met up with Lyndel and Kent and the kids


We also met Carlyn and special little Theo


We went out to Calgary to Trent and Nancy's. She has a beautiful little garden.


Royal and Ellen, Coral and Steve and Pete and Valda and the girls came for a visit :-) which was awesome.


We went to the Calgary Zoo


I looked after the kids 1 day. We had lots of fun together including them doing Nana's hair! and then they each took turns at taking a photo of it:-) Note the blurry 1 of me, with a lovely red clip in, had had some fingerprints over the lens :-)


Fun at lunch 1 day


Papa Lew's arrived:-)


Going for a walk to the park, Roxy found a watch that was for a previous birthday when she was packing, We got Kingston some Lego, he had a lot of fun assembling it, I always love the hanging baskets around the towns:-)


Sunday Morning Family Photos



We looked after the kids 1 night while Wayne and Roxy went out for dinner. We had lots of fun, it was a little too hot at the skate park though!


At Ed and Lillian's pool


All the kids at Lauren's Graduation Party


Valda and Pete and the girls came to visit. Danielle had her 21st Birthday:-)


Walking to see the animals, the Peacock put on a spectacular show!


Good bye to Julia St


When we were unpacking I lined up the dolls I'd got the girls over the years, Kingston had his huge line up of soft toys on his bed. Savannah had to go and get Kingston's Mickey to put by Minnie:-)
All the kids around the kids table at Lillian's,

Kingston's Family Birthday Party at the beach


Lillian spoiled me a couple of times with her delicious Fresh Fruit Pies:-) Even brought them to the party at the beach:-)


A very happy 5 yr old Kingston:-)


On his Birthday he had a party at the park with some of his friends


Me eating the delicious pie:-), Out walking and at the beach


We went for a walk at Peachland, they have all these exercise spots along the way:-)


We camped for a few night so enjoyed walking and riding by the lake:-)
We went to watch Bull riding 1 evening!
I was very upset, our good friends Ralph and Sharon came to visit us for a night and they left without me taking a photo of them!!!!!!!! This photo that Lillian took is the only 1 I have of us all at the bull riding!


Some very cute shots of Nikita


Roxy had some photos taken of her and the kids for Fathers day, these were some of Kingston with his gorgeous smile and facial expressions:-)




Some more cute 1's of Nikita:-) She was in her farm clothes on the left:-)


Dinner out at the Local at the lake before we came home:-)


The kids took photos of us saying Goodbye at the airport
