Papa and Oatsie had their 40th anniversary on February 10th. Months of planning came into fruition as all their children and grandchildren, and two of their closest couple friends, the Pitigers and the Forchinis, came in to town for the weekend. I think they knew all the kids and grandkids would be here when they got here on Friday night, but when they laid eyes on their old friends, their reactions were priceless. Oatsie cried, and Papa said, "Holy s***!" It was a really fun weekend. Saturday we went bowling; P&O were on a bowling team together when they were dating, so this was our little tribute to their young love. Then we had a nice luncheon at the hotel in town, and everyone got a chance to say a few words in P&O's honor. The rest of the time was spent hanging out and catching up, and it was wonderful! Such a great weekend!

for everyone. |

I made red velvet cupcakes; 40 years is the ruby so we
did a red theme wherever we could. |
