The photo journal of a night filled with friends.

On September the 28th we hosted a dinner for our friends, people we have come to love in Vancouver.

our neighbours - jody and kristen and their three little boys...david and angela and their two kiddies...marcello and iola, angela's parents...mj and her two boys harry and stanley, who are caleb's best buds..aki and lena and their little girl who rosie goes to school with.

work friends - liz and mike and their little girl, the photographer tracey has been shooting with this summer...

and just friends - david and roberta, a great couple we met from tracey's BNI... daniel and bella, another couple we met and love dearly...angela and her daughter miranda, who tracey went to high school with... amber, a friend of lani's...josh and chantal, jonathan's brother and his girlfriend..

We had a 5 course meal made by the creative hands of 4 up-and-coming chefs. In an environment designed by our team, MissionBurnaby. It was beautiful...to have our friends all together eating and enjoying each other. The kids even had an incredible time downstairs with our child superhero, erin!

Enjoy the pics.
