Anniversary Party
Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary was a milestone indeed on August 27th. To celebrate this occasion, Mom and Dad planned a big dinner party in the backyard for friends and family. We had big tents set up in the yard with round tables and chairs for the meal. With the help of Julie Cook we had a BBQ with excellent hors deveurs and salads and cupcakes a la Kate. Bob and Uncle Ron manned the grills cooking up burgers, chicken and sausages to perfection. Dad set his shed up as the bar and Jason was a great bartender. With 50 people in attendance it was one rockin' party.
Dave acted as the unofficial MC to keep everyone in tune with what was happening but the event was very informal. Dave spoke a bit about Mom and Dad, I had a chance to speak on behalf of the family (I wrote a poem about my parents' 40 years together) and Dad spoke for him and Mom. Susan had created a slideshow to music of pictures from the last 60+ years of Mom and Dad's lives which was awesome!
An amazing night for two amazing people!
