Congratulations to our Uncle Ryan!

We are so proud of Uncle Ryan, he graduated from Police College on Friday. We all wanted to be together to celebrate with him and attend the ceremony but we couldn't afford to go back to Canada so soon. Thankfully Uncle Ryan ended up paying to fly us home so we could be there. Thanks Uncle Ryan, you are awesome!!!
The ceremony was really neat, they played music and did lots of marching. When it got the speeches Paige and I weren't all that interested anymore but everyone said we did really well!
After the ceremony there was a reception where we got to meet a bunch of people that work with Uncle Ryan, they were all really nice. Uncle Ryan even let me try his hat on, it is pretty heavy, not sure it suits me!
After everything was done at the Police College we went and had naps so we could be well rested for a dinner celebration. We went downtown to a fancy restaurant 38 floors up at the Westin Harbour Castle on the water in Toronto. It was really neat we could see the planes landing and taking off and all the boats on the water, plus the food was fantastic. Gigi let me play with her camera and take pictures, I think I did pretty good!
Here is a group picture that the waiter took.
After dinner we went outside to the Pier to look at the boats and we ended up meeting a nice little doggy that had the same name as one of our dogs "Dexter"!
Oh yeah, we didn't bring baby Paige along to dinner, instead we had a baby free night. Cassie's nanny Hermie agreed to watch her for us since Cassie and her baby brother are away on a family vacation in the Bahama's! I think Paige had a good time with Hermie, she was fast asleep when we got back!!! We had a great time at Gigi and Papa's house, it was nice and relaxing, I think Papa really enjoyed having Paige and I there, we would sit in bed with him and watch cartoons!
We made it back to Tennessee safe and sound last night. Daddy is on call today so it is just us girls. Mommy is trying to get things unpacked and Paige and I are trying to be good little girls. Here is a few pics of us today, I am having a bit of a wild hair day! Paige is enjoying bouncing in her Jolly Jumper, check out the video below.
Well that is all for now, gotta go take my afternoon nap!
Love y'all,
Emmie and Paige
