SarahPrinceton 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 ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0585 arrived and then there was the family portrait ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0586 and Amy and brother, Ben, posed ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0587 on the couch before Sarah and Amy ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0588 amused the Widdowsons ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0589 while Ed and Calida ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0590 checked to see why the fire ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0591 was out and Amy and Calida ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0592 did the room mate thing to the amusement of Kyle ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0593 who seemed to lose his hair for the occasion.

Then it was time to eat. Kyle did the cake ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0594 piece by piece ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0595 as Amy and Calida waited ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0596 for their plates to look like this ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0597 and mine to look like this with flash ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0598 and like this without ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0599 which caused Jane to appear ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0600 happy to be removed from her biology report ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0601 if only for a minute. Amy decided to take this picture of Sarah and me ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0602 which amused Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0603 and caused Sarah to do creative food arrangement ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0604 ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0605

As the mothers chatted ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0606 ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0607 we took the proverbial mother and daughter photos ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0608 ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0609 ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0610 and then listened as Calida told her tales ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0611 to Ed's amusement ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0612 as Rob reached for one last strawberry ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0613 and mother and daughter ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0614 and brother ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0615 admired the clementines ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0616 and the valentine's day flowers ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0617 which were not particularly red. Kyle, whose shirt was red, ../../../Sabbat/2003/02.13.03AmvsParents//IMG_0618 told the story of his missing hair and then all went to bed.
