My Mom and Dad at their wedding reception.
My mother, the beautiful bride.
My parent’s celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary on September 12th. What is so special about 41 years you may ask? I still don’t know, except my brother Daniel thought it was something to celebrate. He had been planning a huge celebration in his head for several months. This included my parent’s “renewing their vows” (too many movies Daniel!) and it all being a surprise to my parents. Well, my sister and I talked Daniel into an intimate family event of chocolate fountain and ice cream cones. We kept it a surprise and had a digital photo book made with some of their original wedding pictures and some pictures of our family through the years. Daniel also drew a picture of their house in his art class and had it framed for my parents. Mom and Dad were so sweet and enjoyed the afternoon with their family. I think Daniel was pleasead with the outcome.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. You are a great example to all of us! Love you!!!
Surprise!

I loved seeing the wedding photos of your parents! Your mother was an incredibly beautiful bride! I love that Daniel put this together – 41 years of marriage is something to be celebrated.
To our sweet children…Thank you so much for the wonderful surprise. Nothing could be better and more wonderful than having the children and grandchildren that we have been blessed with. Daniel, you have a romantic heart and I love it. We had fun. 41 years of lots of happy memories.
