We made it back to Tennessee on Sunday morning after a 15 hour car trip from Ottawa…it was a long one and we were all very happy to get into our own beds! We had an amazing two weeks back in Canada, it was great to get to see everyone. Now this post is going to be very long so I am going to break it up into week 1 and 2, so here goes….
We started our trip off with a lovely visit with Great Granny Cullen…we owe her a big thanks because she flew from Sudbury to Toronto just to see us and she hadn’t been on a plane in over 15 years, thanks very much!!! We laid low for a few days and just hung out with Great Granny, Papa, Gigi and Uncle Ryan, it was perfect.
We even got to go swimming in the pool at Gigi and Papa’s condo, the water was freezing because the heat pump broke the day before but that didn’t bug me one bit, I love to swim!!!
Great Granny made baby Paige her very own stocking that we can hang on Gigi’s and Papa’s mantle at Christmas this year. It looks just like the rest of ours, she did a great job. It is big enough for Santa to be able to fit lots of stuff in it, we were actually able to fit Paige inside…hehe…
One night while Great Granny was visiting my cousin Heidi and her mommy and daddy came over for a visit. It was so nice to see them and get play with Heidi, we have so much fun together.
After Great Granny left to go back to Sudbury we spent a few days traveling around Toronto. One thing I really wanted to do was take the GO train, it so neat. So off we went to downtown toronto on the train, both Mommy and Gigi had to get their hair done!
Daddy came downtown with us and we spent some time walking around the city, it was a beautiful day. Baby Paige liked hanging out at the hair salon and she was trying to convince Mommy she should have her hair done too…silly girl, she doesn’t really have any hair yet!
Now that everyone had their hair done, the next thing we needed to do before going to Kahla and Colin’s wedding was pedicures and manicures. Friday morning Gigi, Mommy and I went to the nail salon and had a girls morning, it was so relaxing and everyone said I was such a good girl!!!
That afternoon we met up with the Hollinger gang at Chudleigh’s apple farm. We got to spend some fun time with Pop-Pop, Granny and Tata, it was a wonderful day. I loved the farm there we tons of animals, pumpkins and slides to play with, I even got to ride a pony!
How silly do we look in this picture, poor Paige, she just wanted to put the wood in her mouth!!!
After the farm we drove out to Kitchener to Moose Winooski’s, which apparently is a restaurant that Mommy and Daddy use to visit when they went to university out there. The whole area has changed and they barely recognized it. We met up with Uncle Chris and had a nice family dinner.
The next day was the big day…Kahla and Colin’s wedding, the weather may not have been great but the day certainly was. We got to party with the whole family and all of my cousin friends were there and it was awesome. I loved dancing…mommy and daddy had to pull me off the dance floor at 11pm, I didn’t want to go home! Congratulations to Kahla and Colin, they looked just like a Princess and Prince!!!
Mommy put Paige and I in matching dresses and we looked pretty darn cute, I guess we will keep letting her do that for just a little bit longer! Thanks to Auntie Sarah for letting us stay at her house the night of the wedding and to Auntie Amy for babysitting baby Paige. Paige only stayed at the wedding till dinner time and then off she went!
In order to get the bride and groom to kiss you had to hula hoop and they would kiss for as long as you could keep it going, so all of us little cousins got up and did our best! During the speeches daddy let us watch a movie on his iPad, it kept us nice and quiet…
Gigi loves to dance, she tore up the dance floor with all of us kids, I think she danced with each and every one of us, it was so much fun!
Mommy put me in my pyjamas near the end of the night but that didn’t stop me from dancing away. Here I am with Uncle Ryan, he is a pretty good dancer!!!
Well that is all for now…keep a watch out for week two later on this week!
Love y’all
Emmie & Paige
