Surprise 40th Anniversary Party

My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary in February this year. My sisters and I threw them a small surprise dinner party at a local restaurant in my hometown.

It was a hit! We actually managed to pull off the surprise. (It's kind of scary what a fantastic liar my sister is!) And my parents were thrilled to see family members, friends, and even old high school buddies!

One of the highlights of the evening was an impromptu performance from a foursome of singers from the local chapter of The Sweet Adelines singers. The four just happened to be dining with their husbands in the restaurant that night and offered the gift of song to help celebrate the occasion.

I managed to catch their performance on video:

Isn't that great?!

And here are my scrapbook pages to commemorate the event:

My commencement ceremonies were only four months ago, but hey—I finally got my scrapbook pages for graduation done!

I had bought a Close To My Heart graduation kit, and I also got some awesome graduation-related scrapbooking goodies as a gift from Eilis.
