My older brother (whom Elise has dubbed "Uncle Turkey") goes to India quite a bit. He's a musician, and he studies there. When we were in Vancouver in 2010, he had just returned and bought with him some of the cutest outfits for Elise. Unfortunately, they were a bit too big for her at the time, but fit quite nicely now.
Here's Elise striking some poses in what she calls her "Chinese Indian Princess Outfit". I'm scratching my head over the Chinese part...
When she was on the phone with my Mom (while wearing this outfit), she told her, "I wish you could see me, I look fabulous!"
Back to the ol' stomping grounds and dinner at Gramma's house.
Love this place... it's called Finn Slough. Click on the name to read about it. A truly unique place that's tucked away in the city I grew up in. This picture was taken at low tide.
The first house I lived in after we moved from Montreal when I was a year old.
I lived here from the age of 10 until I moved out
Hanging with Gramma and Sage
Lovin' the great outdoors
And this is why we call Uncle Stefan, "Uncle Turkey". His hand (plastic eyeballs included) is the turkey and Elise is in love with it.
Uncle Stefan just came back from spending 5 months in India. He and his girlfriend Vanessa bought Elise a whole bunch of beautiful Indian dresses. Here is how Elise feels about her present (she's wearing one of them in the video):
Please ignore the mess you see in the background. That is what you get when three people travel with 10 bags (3 suitcases, the rest were smaller), and stay in about 500 sq. feet of space.

Checking out the dolphins from below ground
Elise thought it was pretty cool
What a fun job
My one good picture of the dolphin
Elise wanted to go swimming!
Ohhhh, fishies (Elise and her cute backpack from India; a present from Uncle Turkey)
Elise and Uncle Turkey checking out the shark tank
Me, Uncle Stefan, Elise and Uncle Marc... we're on a boat!
Elise was quite thrilled with the whole experience
