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

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

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