Celebrating 40 Years!

My Mom & Dad - Married August 26, 1970

Last weekend we had a family celebration at our house in honor of my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. Now that I am married I have a greater appreciation of wedding anniversaries and this was a BIG one! And let's face it, my parents getting married had a HUGE impact on my life. Without them I wouldn't be here, so Chris and I knew we had to do something to celebrate!

Thanks to the family who came and made it a fun night - and to the family who couldn't be here we missed you. That's the beauty of this blog, I can share the pictures and "tell" you all about it....

"Congrats Nana!"
Tucka, Aussie, Mom, and Dee
We BBQ'd carne asada and thanks to Chris (a BBQ master) it was was d'lish. It makes it extra special since this BBQ was my Papa Joe's (my dad's dad).
The party people
Cheers! Here's to another 40 years!
The Jacobs brought a yummy chocolate banana cake from French's - a family favorite!
The cake cutting ceremony. I also wanted a first dance reenactment but my mom swore they didn't have a first dance. Not so sure I believe her....
The lovebirds feeding one another
The best parents around - I love you!
