That morning, this is what we woke up to.
You'd have thought it was Christmas or something. Oakley loved it, though.
Okay, back to the anniversary. When Kevin's extended family gets together, we pretty much do the same thing each time. Grandpa cooks a ham and everyone else brings salads and stuff to share. This occasion was not much different. All the food was great (and Abi loved the ham).
Kevin's grandma has been struggling with health problems and memory loss for the past few years, so most of the night she kept asking why everyone was there, which was kind of sad, but I think Grandpa was really happy to see everyone that came.
Grandma and Grandpa enjoying their anniversary cakeAbi had a great time because she got to play with her cousins and there was a huge cake for dessert. Above, you can see her standing at the table sharing a piece with her cousin Savannah. When no one was looking, she decided to scrape the frosting off the side of the rest of the cake and eat that instead. Her uncle Jon caught her and when he tried to stop her, Grandpa said, "No, let her have it. She knows where to find the good stuff." It was cute.
Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa! I can only hope that Kevin and I can make it that long!

Did you put curlers in Abi's hair or did you curl it with a curling iron? It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteSponge curlers in dry hair w/a little mousse. Low blow dry for a min then rest. Viola! It did turn out really cute. I wanted to test it out to see if we could do it for Lisa's wedding next month.
