Family Get Together At Nan's

Hi again! I really didn't plan on doing two posts this weekend, but what the heck! Yesterday we were invited to my Nan's house for a family get together. My uncle Tom is currently home (he's been out west for the past couple of years), and my uncle Peter and aunt Jan were also home from Halifax. Tom is a chef, and he was cookin' up a feast for everyone, so we just couldn't pass it up! Plus, it was a chance to see everyone before we all head to Ottawa for Matt and Karine's wedding.

It was a beautiful day, so I roamed around taking lots of pictures, of course :)! This is one of Nan's many flower beds..I wish I could have got a better picture of Peter's new car! It was sandwiched in with all of the other cars, so this is the best I could come up with..it's a 2006 Nissan Maxima, leather interior, man this car has everything! Really nice...Nan is in the process of having a new barn built in the backyard (my uncle's Harry and Tom are constructing it). Here's how it looks so far..they are waiting for the siding to come in.
Here's a pic of Nick's girlfriend Kari and Darcy relaxing on the deck...
Everytime Mitch goes to Nan's, he HAS to bring a toy of some kind with him. This time he chose his "XMOD", which is a really small remote control car. All of the guys were in the driveway taking turns playing with it..too funny! The only sucker who I got a picture of was Nick! LOL...
Here's Mitch (Mr. Serious) and his uncle Nick...
Everyone on the deck, you can see Darcy's legs on the swing, Mom gabbing to Darcy, Mitch showing Peter his car, and a piece of Kari..lol
Nick took this shot of Mom, Kari and I. I finally have a picture of the three of us!
Anyway, we all had a great meal..and some even better desserts! It was a nice break away from housecleaning and yardwork, so thanks for having us Nan! Till next time,

Liss

    Hey guys,

    Great pic of the three of you, you all look really good. Nick looks so grown up as well. Can't wait to see everyone at the wedding.

    I agree, Nick does look grown up!! Mitch is really starting to look like you liss. Maybe it's the hair?

    Yeah, that rats nest really needs a trim.

    Now, now Matt..no need to get nasty. If ya wanna play that game, I just happen to have a pic of you and your "hair" when you were about the same age..ha ha! Does Mr. Mullet Man ring a bell, or Mr. Rat Tail? It's a good thing I have a scanner..lol!!

    Ha ha ha... bring it on!!! Oh to live in the 80's again, what a trip. It's hard to believe we all did that stuff. Remember the hair spray you used on those bangs, harder then a brick wall and almost as high. Good times, good times.

    Ah, the good 'ol 80's..lots of sweet memories from that decade! Maybe I'll do an 80's tribute one of these days..wouldn't that be a riot? LOL

    An 80's deck party..now that's an interesting idea! I KNOW you could supply the tunes Coll...:). I wonder what the neighbours would think of that? Ha ha!

    Stop. there is not going to be a 80's party at my house, we will have to have it at Mary-beth's house when she is gone away, then it will really feel like old times. But don't tell her.

    Those were the days!!! If She only knew..

     
  • At 10:21 AM, Blogger Liss said…

    Well, I think she knows now, she does read this guys! Sorry Mom, I wasn't as innocent as you always thought..heh heh! I think deep down you always knew anyway. Why else would a 16 year old be so eager to babysit her brothers on weekends? Oh well, no harm done! So does anyone have "Appetite For Destruction" on CD? We'll definately have to have that...lol

    Oh, and by the way Mom, we need your house....:)

    Ha ha ha... listen to you guys, you think you'd use email to plan something like this. I happen to have "Appetite For Destruction" on CD, too bad I live in Ottawa. I'd love to hit up that party, that'd be rockin.

    Hey, I guess were all slacking on the blog entries lately. I was going to write one about the bachelor party, but that would be breaking rule # 2, no talking about the bachelor party.

    Awww, c'mon Matt, give us at least one picture of you in that French Maid's outfit! Or is that rule #1? LOL

    I haven't been feeling very "bloggy" lately, hopefully I'll get inspired soon..:)

    I'm almost in the same vote, ever since that issue with posting pictures, I've been kinda pissed. I've made a few posts since, but they still take forever to get pictures on there. And I even went back to smaller pictures. Also, I'm getting busier now with wedding stuff so most of my time is taken.

    I'm not having problems with pictures...just too lazy to post! :)

    I've got a bunch of new pics of "renovation stuff", so I'll try to post tonight maybe...

    I made a new post last night, check it out. But... I'm having problems with pictures yet again. Man, what's going on with this thing?
