A Wedding, a Birthday and Family Day


The past two days have been filled with fun celebrations as we've shared a wedding, birthday and BC's first Family Day together!

I am so grateful to be feeling better and able to enjoy all of the festivities!  Yesterday our friends Jonathan and Lauren got married.  Their wedding took place at the UBC Boathouse, a lovely venue in Richmond that is built right out on the water and has the most beautiful views!

The ceremony was beautiful and so meaningful.  Jewish weddings are always filled with so much symbolism, celebration and love, they truly are a pleasure to attend!

I love this picture of the bride and groom hoisted up on chairs as we danced the hora after the ceremony!


We had the most amazing meal and a good visit with family and friends.  What a lovely day!

While we were at the wedding, my friend's nanny, Amy came over to watch Sydney.  In anticipation of their time together, I hit up Dollarama and got a bunch of craft supplies for them to work on together.

One of the things they did was paint this wooden jewellery box.



And this canvas:


Before the wedding yesterday we managed to squeeze in a little time together at Granville Island enjoying the sunshine!


Syd got a real kick out of this guy who was walking his pet pigeon on a leash!


Today was Family Day, which meant that Paul's office was closed and we got to spend a bonus day together.  It was so nice to have a day off in February!  I always thought that we could use a stat holiday sometime between Christmas and Easter!

We spent the morning with our friends Sally and Allan having a lovely lunch and visit with them and their friend Allison.  It was such a fun way to spend a day off!

This evening we headed out to Zachary's house for a party to celebrate his 27th birthday.  We had a lovely dinner and such a great time sharing the evening with everyone there!


Am a bit behind with the photos of the day!  Yesterday's was "3 O'Clock":


At 3:00 yesterday I was getting dressed into this beautiful red dress that my friend Sarah graciously loaned me to wear to the wedding!

Today's is "Entrance".  Here is the entrance to our home:


Hope that you had a wonderful long weekend wherever you are!
