Dinner at the Burdges and the big gift ....

Well, these two seem to entertain each other quite well .... And tonight was no exception. 
Here she is choking on her tea because she's laughing so hard ....
It was a really nice dinner at Burdges tonight. They made a lovely meal of potatos, pork loin, salad and a vegetable medley that I loved and ate more of it than anyone else at my table!

Gordon surprised everyone by presenting the grandkids each with an envelop that contained a silver coin from the Canadian Mint that celebrated 150 years with a very large cheque attached to it. It was from Flora .... A token of her love for her great grandkids. It was very sweet and the kids immediately started talking and dreaming about what they would do with their money.  Such a lucky bunch of kids .... We laughed when Trent piped up from the living room "you know we have 3 cats right?  Don't they count?"
Lots of love in this family .... It was a really nice night.  
Now I'm going home to plan a Hawaiian trip for them because Gordon needs a break and they think November would be a good time to get away for a week!!
