Martha and Bob's anniversary party!

Yesterday, my siblings, their spouses, Chris, and I threw a 45th birthday party for my parents. It was the most wonderful day! Great food, the best cake ever, family and friends. I think Mom and Dad were really happy with the turnout. So many memories were made that day.

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to drive near and far for this celebration. Mom and Dad were overwhelmed at the love in that room yesterday. We appreciate all of your efforts and congratulations!
