New Years 2013!

We are very excited to be hosting this years New Years Eve Party.  Festivities will start anytime after 6:00, we will continue the tradition of a gift exchange for all the kids (those graduated from high school are no longer in this category).  There has been lots of talk about the adult gift exchange whether to stop it or change it up. Sooooo this is what we would like to do for our party.  We have many games and challenges planned for the evening and would like everyone who plans to participate (optional) to bring a wrapped "Prize" $20 max.  Through out the night prizes will be awarded but not opened until all the games are done.  FUN RIGHT!! So bring some yummy food to share and your festive spirits! can't wait to see you all

Housewarming up in Campbell River

Hello Everyone,

Yes, it's true - we have moved up to Campbell River and set roots into our new home. I can't believe that an entire month has passed by already!

We would love to invite everyone out for a housewarming party on Sunday, September 23rd. Feel free to swing by anytime after 1:00 p.m. We'll be doing chilli and buns for lunch, but feel free to bring by an appy or snack too. Oh, and bring your lawn chairs. We'll be hoping for sun. Our address is 1938 Lawson Grove, Campbell River, BC.
We hope to see you there! If you could let us know if you'll be swinging by, that would be great, but we'll make sure to have enough food for everyone.

Thanks,

Jon & Ella

impromptu get together

I was lucky enough to have mom visit for a few days this week and now that my house is sparkling clean and my laundry is folded and the floors are scrubbed and the windows are crystal clear I thought I would invite anyone to come for lunch after church ;)

We will be home from church around 12:30 come and join us and bring a little something to share.

Give me a call so we know you are coming.....or leave message here.

Where the wild things are!

I realize this post is late but was thinking that it would be great for us all to get back into posting more of the Colyn happenings. I was wondering if everyone has the ability to post? Is there a way to make that happen John? David, Aaron, the nieces?

I'd love to challenge each family to put up at least one monthly image or story. What do you guys think??

Happy birthday Mamma - you wild woman !!
