Today was mom and daddy's 25th anniversary...i had wanted to do something really nice and couldn't decide what to do....Mom always says she would rather willing help over gifts...so i decided we girls would plan and make mom supper tonight...it was kinda fun! we went all out....for us anyway...i made a molded jello salad, french bread, twice baked potatoes, thickened peas (like Grandma's), deviled eggs, decorated a cake, grilled turkey breasts....and topped it all w/ candles and pretty table clothes... unfortunately i had to work and milk today so i had tried to make what i could yesterday..so i didn't get in on some of the easier stuff! ha! Andrea and Maurita did it...Oh and i did ask mom if there was anything she would like us to make that she likes that we don't eat very often... and she suggested the french bread and potatoes.
Then we pretty much all spent the evening in the living room! a rarity here! ha! most of us don't do the whole sitting in the living room just hanging out thing! ;-) the boys and dad were doing some leg and arm wrestling...and andrea and mom and i were crocheting and taking pictures...maurita was trying to do a math test and the rest were doing anything from wrestling to standing on their heads!
I think that was a special evening even to me! And i think Mom and Daddy really enjoyed it too!
