Thanksgiving in Collingwood

Katelyn and one of her first times in the exersaucer... :)
So for Thanksgiving this year as well as to celebrate Mom and Dad's 40th anniversary, we went up to Collingwood again for the weekend. Everyone came and we had a lovely time together.
Before sitting down to watch 'pictures', William and Dad made hand shadows for us.
Watching the slide show that Marlene had put together for mom and dad and their anniversary. It was an amazing amount of pictures, and fun to sit in on their family memories...and some of my 'past' was in there too. :) Thanks Marlene! You're so thoughtful!

Auntie Diane and the babe.
The house that we rented that all...? of us stayed in together; Mom and Dad, Henry and Heather and family, all of the singles, Kyle, Brad and James, Katelyn and I. :) The fivesome.
That Monday morning, we went around Collingwood, and Blue Mountain village - we're just walking around the little shops in the ski village and that's me, trying to keep Katelyn warm in James' vest. :) I looked like a pumpkin - in keeping with Thanksgiving/fall theme.
And yes, Katelyn is in there somewhere. :)
After a nice morning of this and that around Collingwood, we went to a resturant to celebrate Mom and Dad's 40th anniversary which was on the 4th of October. We had to be split a part over a few tables, which worked alright. :)
We sang a couple songs together, and a few of us shared some memories or things we were thankful for in mom and dad's lives.
Poor Brad and Diane had to sit together. :)
The last dinner table. So very much in love - 1 year and a half married...with many years ahead together Lord willing.
Brad, and "his" sign.
Our little Happy Hammy. She just loves being outside.
We took a hike along the ridge after dinner - a beautiful but chilly day.
Mom and Dad walking along the trail.
The beauty of autumn in Collingwood.
