Do you know what today is???
It was my parents' 37th anniversary!
I created an "at home" date night for them.
I started by decorating the dining room with tealight candles all around the floor. Then decorated the table w/ a centerpiece, some heart shaped candles, a heart-shaped plant and balloons. Then I set the table for dinner. I cooked belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and cut some fresh fruit. Me and my younger sister acted as their servers starting them with cold glasses of orange juice then breakfast for dinner.
When my mom walked in she was so shocked and excited. My dad had the hugest smile on his face as well. They both thoroughly enjoyed themselves, reminiscing and chatting while me and my sister served them. And who was playing in the background? None other than Luther Vandross, Earth Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder. With the ambiance set, and full bellies, we topped off the night with a mini cake atopped with candles that read "37". We cleaned up a bit and left the love birds to their date.
What a dreamy night. My parent deserved it. Wonder what the recipe for a long lasting, committed relationship is...

Ah, Kim, how sweet and thoughtful of you. A big congrats you your mom and dad.
ReplyDeleteI told my kids when they get older they "Better do some cool things for me and for their dad."
Of course, I'm playing, but I'm not :)
