It has been a year since we had a family gathering in Surrey, BC with all my cousins. This year they decided to take a trip to get the experience of staying at our B&B. Two of the cousins arrived on Tuesday afternoon which was perfect because it gave us time to get the house in order after our guests from California left. We were able to have a good dinner with the first two who arrived. One of them came all the way from the Philippines. After dinner we begged Jeff to play the most favorite past time - MAHJONG. Although Jeff sort of knew how to play, each time he gets asked, we would have to review the rules of the game. I was shocked that we stayed almost past midnight playing the game. The next morning, two more cousins arrived and by noon, the other cousins got to our home just in time for lunch. They were all very happy with the meals that we serve and truly enjoyed their time in our entertainment room (pool table availability). Unfortunately we had to leave the next day for our trip to Yellowknife. We said goodbye and they stayed to look after our home while we were gone. Upon our return, everything was in order, linens washed, and I found some surprise gifts on the table and three thank you cards. My only regret is that we forgot to take photos of all of us because we were so busy catching up with stories and just having a lot of fun. The only photo I took was the cupcakes I made for my cousin who was celebrating her birthday. We had fun decorating her cupcakes.
