Well, Andrew and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on the 05th November. We all had such fun, the kids and I did all sorts of stuff on the sly, I stole some of Melissa and Sams ideas from Cindy's lingerie party. Firstly, they took a video of me answering all sorts of questions, because as the family knows, Andrew and I have a bit of pre-wedding history. Questions were asked, I answered. Lucky for us, Chantal bought her Pa a Harmonica for his birthday, and he is really a budding musician. He religiously practices till all hours. Absolutely loves it. So this gave us time to do all these things behind his back! I then scanned pictures starting from baby pictures through to the wedding, children, holidays etc up to now. Chantal, then made a slide show of it, she is really good, and put some music to it. Andrew and I had planned on going to some fancy restaurant but then it did not seem appropriate for all we had planned. Chantal then volunteered to cook us a mean supper, which she did, we sat at the dinning room table, she purchased plants for decor, etc and it was really very nice. Not just nice, but special nice. We then watched the slide show, Andrew really enjoyed that, and then came the video. I must say, we put him on the spot, and he knew almost all of the answers. Between the two of us, we had to answer 38 questions, and they were mostly right. It was fun. I really enjoyed it, I don't think it would have been that much fun if we had gone to some fancy restaurant, because the kids were with us, Lorraine was there, and we shared our special moments with the people who are really special to us. To Andy and Chantal, thank you for all the effort you put in. Chantal it took you the better part of the day for the food preparations, you spent so much time on the slide show, it was all done at difficult time, as you had exams, but somehow, you pulled it all together, it was lovely, delicious and fun, thank you. And so that puts another huge mile stone behind us. Now we are looking forward to our 50th Wedding anniversary.
