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.
