40th Anniversary Extravaganza

On November 17th, my parents celebrated their 40th anniversary!  So, on the 23rd (the day after Thanksgiving), my siblings and I threw a party for them.  It was a dinner party and we decided to go with Italian.  We had invited 40 people and were hoping that we could pull it off without a hitch...and we did it!  The family came and we all had a great time visiting and just enjoying each other's company.  So, here are way too pictures of how it all went down:

The kiddos loved their own table!

Food was served buffet style.

Eating and socializing

David gave the toast.

We looped a slideshow during the party, so people could watch if they wanted to.

The aftermath

Everyone that came! Yay for family!  <3 p="p">

Our family!

Overall, it was a great night and, at the end of the night, we couldn't have been happier...or more relieved!  ;)
