birthday bashes

Here was another pic from Ivan's skate time with his class. This day Dominique was off from school, so I took her along. Fri. is report cards and a short week next week as we gear up for a big Easter break. Also this weekend, we get to see family at a mini reunion of sorts. A school I went to Western Christian College is shutting down and having it's final homecoming this weekend in Regina, so my sister and her family are coming out, I'll also get to see my parents, brother and his wife and a slew of cousins, aunts, uncles...

Always fun to have a family bash. This was February, March birthdays, with of course fabulous food (Char made a lamb stew for St. Patrick's day that was amazing) music and laughter. I LOVE LOVE how the Muirhead/Koops and entourage inhabit the word family. Brian noticed that Andrea always seems to find a foreign student or "tag-along" to include in the family festivities, there is often a fire in the summer, a guitar, kids running off to play and stories by aunt Mary, family sing along...

and such cute entertainment!



We are getting a bit spoiled now I suppose. For so long we were too far away for family birthday bashes and now there's one here in town about every 2 months! Plus, we sometimes get to the MacLeod clan birthdays in Saskatoon!
