Easter weekend and Garrett's Birthday

Easter Bunny visited Kristi and Jason last week and now it was ready for Garrett and Kat. Been years since I participated.

Lots of fun. :)

Friday morning Ray and I were relaxing and not worrying about the "mess from dinner" with Steve and Dianne last night, as I had the whole day to clean it up before the showing on Saturday morning. The pork belly is quite messy with the final frying before serving so a lot of grease ended up all over the stove. Unfortunately or fortunately my realtor emailed me at 8:30 that people wanted to come by at 11:30 am. Well that was like getting an ice bucket thrown on my head, so up and attem! 

Garrett and Kat were supposed to come over Friday but with the scheduled showing for Saturday morning at 10 am they made alternative arrangements with friends in Pitt Meadows and were scheduled to arrive after Saturday's showing. They are currently dog sitting a friends dog and I could not face the thought of cleaning up after 3 large dogs before showing the house Saturday morning. As it turned out, a good thing, as we had a showing on Friday as well. :)

This makes 4 showings in just over a week so fingers crossed that this is a good sign.

Once Garrett and Kat got here they left the dogs with us and took off to a gocart race track for Garrett's birthday present. Here are a couple of pictures Kat took.

Garrett had a blast but Kat did not want to try it.

Once back we all relaxed with the dogs outside. It was sunny enough and warm enough we all sat outside for the first time this year.

Next it was time to get ready for our reservation at Kami Sushi for dinner.

Our gorgeous daughter-in-law (She never puts make-up on but tonight she did for her picture with Garrett! lol)

Happy Easter

We had a fabulous meal at Kami Sushi and all were really full by the time we got back. Kat had baked a pecan pie for Garrett's birthday and also had a hazelnut torte. Yumm.

We all woke up by 7am due to 3 dogs!!! We had a lovely visit and a light breakfast of toast before the "Grand Finale" ... Dim Sum at the Kirin Restaurant at the Starlight Casino on Anasis Island. We had tried to go there two weeks ago but realised without a reservation no go! Today we had a reservation for noon.

What a great place, very busy but very reasonable prices. Thanks Garrett and Kat for taking us there for brunch.

Back home for Garrett and Kat to pack up and take the dogs back to Squamish. A very lovely visit. Now tomorrow will be spent dog dehairing the house again. :) lol

If it was not for the yucky weather and no satelitte TV in the coach I would move us back out there so keeping the house clean at a moment's notice was not such a big deal. Hopefully this is just a very short time until it is sold.
