Amy has been Sarah's room mate for the year and her parents decided to make a Valentine's Day trek to Princeton and other points East to bring some of the Calgary snow (the proverbial Alberta clipper ) with them. Before the snow came, we had a small gathering and this is what we saw.
Amy's parents, Rob and Barb
arrived and then there was the family portrait
and Amy and brother, Ben, posed
on the couch before Sarah and Amy
amused the Widdowsons
while Ed and Calida
checked to see why the fire
was out and Amy and Calida
did the room mate thing to the amusement of Kyle
who seemed to lose his hair for the occasion.
Then it was time to eat. Kyle did the cake
piece by piece
as Amy and Calida waited
for their plates to look like this
and mine to look like this with flash
and like this without
which caused Jane to appear
happy to be removed from her biology report
if only for a minute. Amy decided to take this picture of Sarah and me
which amused Suzanne
and caused Sarah to do creative food arrangement
As the mothers chatted
we took the proverbial mother and daughter photos
and then listened as Calida told her tales
to Ed's amusement
as Rob
reached for one last strawberry
and mother and daughter
and brother
admired the clementines
and the valentine's day flowers
which were not particularly red. Kyle, whose shirt was red,
told the story of his missing hair and then all went to bed.
