Surprise!

We threw a surprise party for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary two weeks ago Sunday. It went off without a hitch! Mom and Pop got married at the courthouse so this was there first wedding. We did it at Deer Park Manner in Bloomington and getting mom and pop to agree to go down there was no small feat. When it finally happened, mom was in tears. Pop was stunned as he had to go to the bathroom and walked in on the party waiting for the couple to come around the side. Anyway, it was lovely with great food, a wedding cake, pianist and violinist, drinks and most importantly good friends and family. Our old great neighbors from Michigan came down to celebrate, Sue is a minister and renewed the vows. It was very sweet, Mom and Pop were really into it. Roger, her husband and Mike their son (and our good friend) also were there. Val and I got to hang out with Mike that evening which was cool.

It was definitely worth the work and surprise, my parents loved it. Emily and I agree that we are now officially done with Anniversary's, Pop thinks we've started a new trend, only time will tell.

On a side note, I have lost my camera which is why pictures are not being updated. Yes, I am a loser. I also lost a stroller recently (seriously). Pop has bravely lent me his digital and the pictures should be up and running in no time.
