Well CELEBRATED & LOVED!

"A simple celebration a gathering of friends; 
here is wishing you great happiness, 
a joy that never ends."
-Author Unknown

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, 
make everyday a holiday and celebrate just living."
-Amanda Bradley

"What a grand thing to be loved! 
What a grander thing still, to love."
-Victor Hugo
Brian last night with the grandkids when they stopped by for
cupcakes to CELEBRATE their SPECIAL GRANDPA!

I'm not sure who gets into the CELEBRATIONS more...
SHUFFLE, THE GRANDKIDS ... or ME!

Last night we had a wee party going on in Brian's honour!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25th...
was not only Brian's BIRTHDAY...
it was a day of celebration of my mom's life,
as she passed away on that date in 2010.
Our friend, Ella brought over a delicious carrot cake in
 CELEBRATION!

Brian's sister, Brenda and our niece, Rowen dropped by on Friday
with some LOVE and a box of Tim Bits to help CELEBRATE!
More photos here from last night's cupcake party, too!

Friday evening we shared a delicious meal at "St. Tropez Bistro"
with our friends, Joan and Gerry.
We also had a lunch at "Calories "earlier in the day
 with friends, Ross and Trona.

Saturday we did another Birthday celebration lunch with friend, Robin
at "Brown's Social House"... here are all our yummy meals!

Saturday morning friends Ella ... and also Steve popped by for
birthday coffees and visits, too!
Today we had a fun group of friends sharing breakfast at Fuddruckers,
Bob and Jacquie treated us to our meal!

Jana and her store partner Melissa have had a big shoe sale at Market Mall
since Thursday... Brian and I stopped by a few times over the first 3 days!
Melissa just recently celebrated her birthday as well...
and yesterday would have been her dad's birthday, too.

Celebrating Birthdays and Angels this past weekend...
CUPCAKES  & HALOS!
...CELEBRATED and LOVED...


These past 3 days have been ones of
LOVE and CELEBRATION.

As you can see by the photos in this blog post, we have been to do lots of dining and celebrating with friends and family. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful thoughtful wishes by phone, email, Facebook and in person... We all feel well CELEBRATED and LOVED for sure!

We consider ourselves so lucky to have the family and friends we do and that they all think so kindly of us on not only our special occasions but also from day to day, too.
I am ever grateful for who ever pops by to read about my little daily celebrations here on my blog from post to post,
as well. Even if you do not comment, thanks for stopping by!

This last week was a busy one of seeing Mariah's dancing at her viewing week of lessons. She seems to be very happy and is progressing nicely.

We have not seen as much of the grandkids since school began in the fall with everyone's busy lives, so it was nice to connect a few times this week.

We will see them again at the next CELEBRATION which of course will be when they pop by on Thursday this week for HALLOWEEN! I will hopefully capture some photos of them in costume and post on the next blog.

In spite of all the birthdays, anniversaries, cupcakes, etc. this month, we continue to live each day with love, and treat it like a celebration. I am thankful for the gym these days
with all the dining out I have done recently!

Thanks for all the birthday treats, fun and meals...
we appreciated them ... and on that note,
here is a little rhyme of the day...


I think birthdays are for celebration and love,
From family and friends... to angels above.
When one feels loved and special, too...
It makes them feel better with all that they do.
It's even better when we celebrate each day,
With love from all round, in any kind of way.
It's a way to remember, and never forget,
Feeling celebrated and loved is the best yet!
