A Magical Night!

Ron and I headed to Real Sports Bar & Grill tonight after work for a special private party! My bro-in-law Gary's younger brother Andrew Nicholson was to be drafted by the NBA tonight! It was so exciting!!

There was plenty of food and an open bar while we waited as they went through each draft pick. All of Andrew's family and friends were there to share this moment with him.

And finally... at the 19th pick, we heard David Stern on the big screen announce Orlando Magic's selection for NBA's Draft pick of 2012 as ANDREW NICHOLSON!! Everyone got up and cheered, there were hugs everywhere, and then the media went on to interview Andrew and his family. It was amazing to see it all unfold... how awesome!!

Looks like we'll be bringing Jacen to Orlando sooner rather than later! Disneyworld here we come!! haha

Lorna's Graduation Day!

Congratulations to my little cuz Lorna on graduating from the Human Resources Management program with high honours!!

This is her second diploma (she graduated from ECE a few years back), and yet... if you ask her what she wants to do next... it's insurance! haha. Yo go girl!

We all went out to eat after, and my little cousin treated us all! It's supposed to be US treating the grad, but she wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks Lorney, and Congratulations!! We're very proud of you!!

Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day was spent at my brother's backyard for a BBQ! We invited our entire family over since it's been a while since we've all seen each other.

The food was dee-lish and the family was super funny as usual. They didn't realize that Jacen could walk already, and he had an entire backyard where he could show off his new skills. Hope you all had a good father's day!

Burgers and Ribs!

Ron had a boys night out tonight, so I decided Jacen and I would go out as well!

We met up with Quel and headed to The Burger's Priest for dinner. I've been hearing such rave reviews about this place that I had to try it! It's a very small burger joint, with lines going out the door. We got our orders and drove across the street to Kew beach and had a lovely picnic dinner. The line was worth it... that burger was yummmy!

Diana, Gerwyn and Marley joined us shortly after - the cycling family! There was a Rib Fest going on across the street with a live band so we decided to all go and check it out. The kids were able to walk around in the huge field and the adults all enjoyed eating ribs, funnel cake and corn on the cob! We even stayed out past their bedtimes! What a fun night!

Our Mother's Day Spa Day!

Di, Saads and I cashed in our Mother's Day gifts from our hubbies and all headed to Ste. Anne's for a lovely day at the spa!

We had a beautiful day. We checked in, then sat outside on the patio for a while waiting for our first treatment. I had an hour Swedish massage first. We then met up for lunch in the dining room.

After lunch, we put on our swimsuits, and sat by the pool for a little while to digest our meals and chat. Then we went into the pool to cool off from the hot sun. And then it was time for our second treatment. This time, I got a Seaweed body masque. It's supposed to help get rid of the toxins in my body. We then met up for high tea outside on the patio. What a perfect day to spend with some great friends! We're hoping to make this an annual event (hint hint to all the hubbies reading this). Next year: White Oaks!! :)
