There is never a dull moment when our family comes together from across Western Canada, and thank goodness for that! It would take far too much effort to even begin to convince me that family gatherings are supposed to be boring & dull, so forget it! Apparently the story behind this Easter get together is something of the following:
Auntie Brenda (Vancouver): Hey guys, it looks like there’s a seat sale on YYC-YVR. Wanna come out for Easter long weekend?
Grandma & Grandpa (Calgary): Hey, that sounds terrific! We’re in!
I know eh, brilliant isn’t it?! I love spontaneity. And so the weekend was born. Saturday – Canucks clinch Northwest Division title (Flames finish 5th? Can anyone from Calgary confirm this?) …this is really the most important part of the entire weekend. In all seriousness, we laughed until we cried through about the entire three dinners ending tonight. Personally, I haven’t cried that much since I watched The Notebook for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth times. Much gratitude to our family from Kamloops & Calgary (Flames finish 5th in the West) for making the journey out here to Vancouver this weekend for such an amazing time! HUGE kudos to our hosts BBC (No actually, it’s the lingo and not the British Broadcasting Corp.) for the food was fabulous, and company a hoot! And I said hoot, not toot, for those of you with the iFart app. on your iPhone! Did I really laugh until it severely hurt listening to that at the dinner table on Saturday? Thanks, guys – very mature.
Okay, so I totally see her as a teenage girl in the one on the left!

That food looks GREAT. Mmmmm! And a big family too!
Glad to see you had such a great time. Family is so important. My favourite photo is also the one looking down at the wine glasses.
Emily - Oh my GOD! What a fantastic compilation! These photos seriously made me laugh! And the food looks amazing!! What a great story these photos tell. Honestly some of your best work to DATE! It appears that Collette is getting used to you taking photos of her, she seems so comfortable in front of the camera (what an advantage!)
Nicole Haley - Sean – I love all of the images of your meal here. But then again I love food. It just feels like a celebration! I especially love the image of the older gentleman and the little one sharing a cheers!
mum - Sean,
What a wonderful montage of the last 3 days – a perfect blend of food and faces. My favourites are the black and white of Colette. Sadly, no photo of me beating Dad in gin rummy with the egg cards…
Christine - Ahhh family. They really are the best aren’t they? I don’t know where I would be without mine :) Love the photos of the wine glasses at the start!
