Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

A week from today is my parents 
20th Wedding Anniversary!
{two weeks from today is when we find out boy or girl - just incase you forgot....}

Anyways, back to mum and dad
{An Australian lady came into BBW the other day... loved her accent!}

wow I'm really spacey today... sorry.

OK - so I had the brilliant idea of getting our parents some fine china for their 20th because I mean its a big deal and they've never had China, and its the "gift" of twenty, and they deserve something really nice from us kids - I mean seriously, they do SOOOOOO much for us!  I know we'll never be able to really repay them for all they do, but I think we set off in the right direction last night.

Since they are going on a little get away next week, we decided we'd plan a special little something for them before they left {and we did it really early so make sure it was nice weather}

We gave them an invitation a few days before - just so they didn't plan something else.
And then we had them follow some arrows that Rachel masterfully cut out down our driveway and across the street to our neighbors back yard.

They are the sweetest, nicest, retired couple and their backyard is GORGEOUS!
They work so hard on it - we were so grateful that they let us use it  :D


Curiosity is setting in


"Oh I see where we're going..."


A little dip and kiss under the gate
{I'm sure this looked more romantic from the side... but haha you know}


Sorry, not the most flattering shot, but you can actually see the trellis that they're under


Let it be known, that my father is a gentle man


So precious!

My beautiful Mother :) 
{Also in this picture you can see that we served them their dinner on the China - but we didn't tell them it was their's til later.  When they asked where we got the China we said, "We borrowed it from Jeremy's parents" which is true - haha they just assumed it was his biological parents we borrowed it from.
haha we're so sneaky!}


We presented them with their China when we brought down their dessert
{Which was the traditional raspberries and ice cream they had at their reception}


The help {Peter would have helped too, he was just at mutual til after the festivities ended....}


Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
We are so glad that you two decided to get married 20 years ago
{literally because otherwise we wouldn't be here!}
Thank you for the wonderful parents you are and the great example of what a marriage should be like

We love you!!!
