A couple of months ago my siblings and I threw my parents a surprise anniversary party at a church to celebrate a milestone anniversary for them. It was a lot of work, especially to keep it secret, but it was well worth it! We sent out tons of invitations and had about 150 people show up. Alan and my other brothers strung countless Christmas lights and Japanese lanterns across the ceiling, and my sisters decorated with tea lights, roses, ribbons, and pictures that we stole from my parents' house.
There was a also a beautiful video with songs and pictures from my parents' courtship, delicious eclairs and cheesecakes for treats, and even a fancy wedding cake with chocolate-covered strawberries that I had Alan's cousin make.
We love you, Mom and Dad! We hope the night was magical and that you felt loved.

Aweseome! So much work, but so worth it.
Jenny! What an amazing thing--putting on a party like this! It looks like it was fabulous and I'm sure it was so special to your parents and family. Wow! Way to go.
We absolutely were surrounded with love, especially from our children. The evening was magical, incredible, and wonderful. We couldn't believe all the work and effort you went to so we could have such a great celebration!
We love you, too --- Mom and Dad
