A birthday Meal

For my birthday we decided to check out the Firehall!
They had firehouse decor all over.



We were very excited about the menu because it included some of our favorites!

BBQ Ribs for Tim

Delicious fajitas for Jenn. And they even managed to find me some guacamole, a true rarity in Canadian resterants. They don't know what they are missing.

A true classic, which didn't last long, the spinach and artichoke dip! Mmmm!
It was a great meal, but the best part was that my dinner was free because it was my birthday!
YaY! Now we know where we're eating on Tim's b-day.

Jenn's Birthday!

Birthday wishes for Jenn!

Well, a few weeks later and it was back down to the states
for my birthday and another wedding!
It was a good time!

Birthday hat's and all!

Silly times with the fam!!! Got to love it.

We had a really nice time with a great dinner and time together.

By the way, my parents got an awesome new garage built over the summer.
They even have garage door openers on two of them now and an upstairs
workshop/storage area.
So, after the birthday celebrations it was onto the wedding celebrations.


My cousin Amy got married in Tennesse to Travis a couple months ago.
They had another reception in CT so that the rest of the family could celebrate with them.


And celebrate we did! Emilie even caught the bouquet!
The orange and white were remenicent of the TN spirit!
After a beautiful dance with her dad (my uncle) Eddie
It was time for us to head back to the border.
See you all again soon.

Mom and Dad's visit

You are now entering Canada!!!

Next big event was that my Mom and Dad came to visit!

We had a nice visit and went to the Royal Botannical Gardens!

It was a chilly day and we all enjoyed a warm drink and beautiful scenery.

These gardens were truly amazing! There were tons of great garden sculptures too!
I'd love to have this one in my back yard.

We also found a cool interactive sculpture. Who's head fits in the crown?
Mine was a bit skinny for it.

It fit a little bit better on Tim.
The Helicopter...
And the zipper!
The next day was beautiful so we thought we'd check out downtown Toronto!
We found more gardens! My parents really love gardens...
The waterfront area is filled with luxury condos and well, gardens.
We also checked out the CN Tower. From a distance.
I was not ready to go up it yet. I hear it has a glass elevator...uuuhhhggg.
So after the city gardens had to come a touch of antiquing. Yes my parents can sniff
out an antique shop even in Toronto!

Tim couldn't help his curiosity...it worked! And it was loud!!!
All in all it was a great visit with my parents.

They are welcome to come back anytime. Thanks for a nice time.
