Party!!


Celebrating 2 birthdays!!

My daughter Lissa was yesterday...and my son Ryan is on Wednesday...

We all gathered at Ryan and Annas...for a celebration!! 

Miss V helped her Uncle Ryan open a few prezzies!!


Plenty of delicious goodies to eat...

And gluten-free too!!

Bean soft tacos and gluten-free pasta salad for dinner...

A delightful time was had by all!!
 

"Hurry Up Uncle Jeff & Uncle Ryan...we need cake"!!!!!


{everyone grab your phones for picture time!!!} 



"Happy Birthday Auntie Lissa"   ♥️♥️♥️



Last week Miss V made birthday cards...

and wrapped a few gifts...

she gave Auntie Lissa this glass cat, who looks just like her cat JJ...Lissa loved it!! 




Hope you are having a great day...and that you had a great weekend...

We got to the cottage Saturday noon...

Don't get me started on the weather out there!!!

Do the letters   b r r r r r  mean anything??

Another chilly dull one here today...

Miss V still napping...think we will bundle up, and go to the park, when she wakes up!!

Cod is soaking in buttermilk...which will be baked to a crispy goodness...

Alongside some hashed brown potatoes,bok choy, and baby carrots!

Have a great day, and evening...

                    Cheers!  :o)

    Great photos and Happy Birthday to your kids.

    I love that bookcase/shelf off the kitchen. Very nice. And of course, I
    LOVE seeing a table FILLED with good eats.

    As for winter, we still have it. The heat is cranked but thankfully today,
    no snow. Knock on a skeleton's skull, it stays that way.

    Happy Birthday to all, and I think Miss V enjoyed the party as much as anyone. She makes lovely cards, and chooses very sweet gifts. The cat is very cute. Love your healthy food options, it always looks good at your house Linda. I will have to try the soaking fish in buttermilk idea, it sounds delish!

      I coat it with Panko crumbs!

    Such a lovely family! Ryan has some very cool retro décor - love it. I had a whole collection of little china animals when I was a child - just adored them. I probably still have them some place! I love that basket filled with colourful, tissue-wrapped prezzies. How festive!
