The Lion House was a fabulous place to celebrate their special day! We had a delicious turkey dinner complete with all of the caloric rolls, honey butter, salad and dessert. Note the gorgeous flowers arranged by talented Julie!
Even though it was Annissa who thought of starting the whole celebration at the temple and I thought of the Lion House, it was Jennie who pulled everything together. She took charge of arranging the dinner/menu and putting together a memory book complete with family and friends' memories and feelings about Mom & Dad. She also took on the project of scanning all of their pictures to compile a DVD that was shown that night (with the help of Matt). It was "hats off" to her as she really grabbed this whole celebration by the horns:)
She put together "the basket" to present the memory book to them. She even wore the dress that my Mom wore to her wedding breakfast!
After the DVD, a beautiful piano solo by Cami and a touching vocal solo by our one and only "Pop" (Steve), it was off to the surprise carriage ride around SLC for Mom & Dad. I think it was fun for them and added to the strong feelings of love that were there that night:)
More carriage ride...
40 years!! "Go get 'em Tigers!" We are just 25 years behind you! Watch out--time flies!
The Lion House grounds! Gorgeous girls! Just Beautiful!
Julie and Jennie had a cake replica made. They even had the original cake topper on it. It was so fun!
We tried to get them to smash the cake in each other's face j/k-but everyone was way too full from dinner to really cut the cake! It was such an incredible night to spend together as a family and cherish many years of memories in a few hours! We love ya Mom & Dad!
