I can finally talk about it! :D My big project, the biggest project I have worked on in my life up to date, was my parent's surprise 25th anniversary party. I started planning this way back in June, and the party was last night, and it was a blast! Plenty of people showed up, there was plenty of food, PLENTY of desert ;)
I didn't quite surprise my dad, he's had a feeling I was planning something for a couple of weeks now, he was mostly just surprised that it was tonight. Though for having planned this since June, having him only suspect something in the last two weeks...I'm getting closer to actually surprising him with something ;) One of these days I'll get him. My mom on the other hand was thoroughly surprised! I suppose I can settle for just one of them.
It was so nice to see some family that we don't normally get to, also some old family friends, and of course everybody we see all the time in one place. My Uncle Bill gave a wonderful prayer thanking God for my parents lasting 25 years and that serving Him together they would last much longer than just the next 25. He was much more elegant than that, but that was the gist of it.
Did I mention there was plenty of food? Meatballs, mini hot dogs, chili, beef stew, Italian soup (not sure of the real name, that's what my friend taught me lol), corn bread, dinner rolls, forgot the stuffed mushrooms until it was over...oops, veggie platter, fruit salad, mini cheesecakes with strawberry and cherry options to top each piece with, mini apple cinnamon muffins, brownies with dark chocolate Recees cups in the middle, blueberry coffee cake, lemon cake balls, haystacks (chow mein noodles with melted butterscotch chips, made into little piles, delicious!), and a lemon cake with strawberry frosting. My mom really likes lemon cake :)
Overall I have to say it was a fantastic evening, I pulled it off far better than I expected myself too, but I still say that my brother is in charge of their 50th ;)
