Fun, fun, fun!!!

Catching up with friends....with a surprise visit :)

Yay, my friends Christie and Sid were in Edmonton tonight and they called to see if I had time to meet for coffee, but I had had a lazy movie day with the girls today and wasn't even dressed - we had had a lovely pj day!!!  So they came over to our place instead!!  We sat out by the fire pit and had smores and snakes on a stick...chatted until after dark when the kids had sparklers...then when it got cold we put the fire out and went inside for tea to warm up and laughed at Susie learning to cut watermelon :)

It was lovely to see them both - see Christies TINY pregnancy belly, and catch up with all their news!!
