Surprise 40th Anniversary

Mom and Dad S. celebrated their 40th anniversary in Hawaii!  We weren't able to join them :), so we all surprised them by bombarding their house for the weekend and having a party!  We met up at their local Wal-Mart parking lot, and headed to their house together.  I think there were 7 cars of people!!

They were expecting Julie and Sam, but not all 20 of us!


Care-bear skyped in for the party!

Raspberry cheesecake and strawberry cake!  Owen likes!




Watching the slideshow of pictures of their 40 years together!

Happy Anniversary!

DeAnne worked hard and compiled pictures to put into a photo book for them!


Watching his parents feed each other the cake, made Jason want to reenact our wedding cake cutting.  He did it almost the same, except I'm pretty sure he managed to stuff even MORE cake in my mouth than he did at our wedding!  

One of the families that Mark and Karol do daycare for bought their old house.  They invited us to walk through it so everyone could reminisce of the years spent there!

Jason's hand has grown since this concrete was poured out back!

Even though Leah was 6 when she left that hand print, her hand hasn't grown at all!  :)

So sad to have missed the party (it was the same day as Jeff's cousins wedding) looks like you all did a great job of surprising them!! I have so many great memories from the old Sanderson house, it was fun to see the pic of it.
