What to do with those old wedding decorations?

Reenact your wedding- of course!!!

Since we had already celebrated our anniversary alone in Hawaii I figured why not celebrate it today with the whole family!


I made a delicious lemon, raspberry "wedding cake" and decorated it with flowers that had come off my bouquet.


Got out material that was used to decorate tables and decorated a bit of counter space. Glad to use the knife and server again.


Used some of our china and water glasses with sparkling grape juice.Fixed a mean batch of shrimp avacados quesadillas and the festivities began.


Let's cut the cake!

We were a lot nicer to each other this go around!



The kids wanted to try it!!



Amy wanted to see some action and began tapping her glass



And don't forget..
You need to throw the bouquet!






Tried to do a photo shoot with our pretty talented amatuer photographer (Katelyn- it was her 1st gig), but someone kept popping in the picture.

I finally just decided I could crop Briggy out!

That is the best idea!! I think we'll have to make that apart of our family tradition on those "golden anniversaries". What better way to show your kids how much your marriage means and it looks like they all had a lot of fun! You need to post the recipe for your avocado shrimp quesadillas!
