A Visit with my Cousins

Mark, Cheryl, and Andrew came up to Victoria for a visit this summer, so Amanda and I thought it would be fun to go over and visit them. While we were there we went to Sydney and visited most of the second hand book stores and some of the antique stores - my idea of a great day. We also decided that we would do what most visitors to Victoria do at some point in their visit and go for High Tea. Tracey had heard about this cute little tea room in the Oak Bay area called the White Heather Tea Room. Lovely tea, delicious food and terrific company made even a slightly grey and rainy day wonderful. As you can tell from the food on the table, there was no shortage of yummy treats, we even had enough to take home.


Another fun event was the Unbirthday Birthday party for the cousins. As it is hard for the cousins to visit on actual birthdays, Auntie Tracey decided to throw a little party while every one was together. We had some scrumptious cupcakes from a new bakery that specializes in cupcakes called Ooh La La Cupcakes, and lots of presents. - Well at least the kids did. (Even Amanda got in on presents with some great new earrings!)

Sammy, at almost two, made the cutest faces as he was allowed to eat his cupcake however he wanted.













On the last night together I made a French Silk pie for Mark, as it is one of his favorite desserts. I must say it turned out rather well, as you can tell from the smile on his face.
