Oh, these kids of mine!


So...
On Saturday evening our kids had invited us
out to dinner to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
We were very excited about a night out on the town with our kids,
and dinner at the pub where our son works.
Little did we know,
these kids of ours had planned a surprise party for us!


There were old photos and scrapbooks...


a "this is your life" time line for people to sign...




a room full of our favorite people....


delicious food....fresh veggies, shrimp cocktail, chicken-veggie kabobs....


laughter and hugs and stories and a toast with champagne!


There were banners....


and sunflowers.
Every detail was just perfect.

Not all surprises are good surprises,
but this one was the BEST!
We had a great night with treasured friends and family.


And it was all thanks to our crazy kids
who planned
and schemed
and,
at the end of the day,
knew just how to make their parents feel extremely loved!!
