watching some t.v. together
the "all canadian" party. we had some pretty hi-brow guests...
from left to right front row:
snow boarder, justin bieber, eli with red shirt on, david suzuki, a first nations lady, ida with maple leaf tattoo and balloon.
from left to right back row:
noah sans costume was leif ericson, the queen of england, johnny was prince charles, bret "the hitman" hart, celine dion, a figure skater, CJ the newest Canadian family member, a Canada flag - that was me, jeff was a mountie sans the costume.
it's almost been a week. last friday c.j., ida and i went down to the harry hays building and participated in a Canadian Citizenship Ceremony. yes, cj is now a Canadian and an American. how cool is that? pretty fancy if you ask me. the ceremony was lovely. 75 people from all over the world were there with their families and loved ones to watch them become a Canadian. everyone was excited and happy. i had the most amazing intentions to document it, record it, photograph it, soak it all in. enter ida. unfortunately i spent most of my time scooping her off the floor and containing the howling as i ran out of the room. she even kicked it up a notch when he was called up to get his citizenship certificate, he walked one way and i was running out the other way. it was all very disappointing. ohhhh well. i guess we will always remember the day dad became a canadian... wahhhh, wahhh, wahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
to celebrate cj's happy day, we had a big fat "canadian" party the next night at jeff and nenas. it was fun. we dressed up canadian {the grand prize goes to chuck. canadian AND calgarian with the bret hart get-up}. we ate poutine, Tim Horton doughnuts and danced. good times.

So.... if he's Canadian now and you have a visa to live in the States does this mean you're moving to Europe?

Congratulations CJ! Sounds like a fun time was had by all! And I really loved the costumes!
Congrats cj! How long did the process take? I've had my application in since last June and all I've received from them is a letter stating that they've received my application?
c.j.'s paperwork was in about a year and then we heard through our lawyer when his test date was. the test was a 20 question multiple choice {you have to get at least 15 to pass}. you don't know what the results are until they call you 2-3 weeks later and let you know if you passed or not and then when the citizenship ceremony is. they do one ceremony a month on a friday. good luck! you should hear soon!
