September has been crazy around here! Brady started school, 2 parties in 3 days and a little trip to Vegas. My sister and I decided to throw my parent's a surprise 40th wedding anniversary party. It was my idea and turned out great! I found out how much I don't know my parents. Like what is my mom's favorite color? Now I know it's red. Does my dad like to be called Cliff or Clifford? What is their favorite wine or beer? See - lots of questions! We went with a black and white theme, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. My sister and I selected the menu but here is some of the choices we picked: filet and mushroom skewers, twice baked redskin potato bites, stuffed mushrooms, sesame chicken skewers, brie bruschetta, risotto and mozzarella balls, and did I mention the crab cakes. OMG! And of course cake - my personal fave. :)
It was hard to find addresses and phone numbers for their friends in this day and age when no one has landlines anymore. But we did it! And didn't miss anyone :) My parents were completely shocked. They thought they were just having dinner at Rick's with my sister and her husband. The hostess brought them upstairs to show them to their table and we all yelled surprise!! Here's some pics:
Surprise!!
Framed the invitation and stole this album from their house!
