40th Anniversary

My parents had their 40th wedding anniversary in January. We've never been much for anniversary celebrations, but we decided to do something special for this one because it was a biggie (and my grandmother said we should). We immediately thought of the perfect way to celebrate and made reservations at Perona Farms for their awesome Sunday bruncheon. The last time we went was six years ago to celebrate my dad's birthday.

My parents, my brother and his family, my grandmother and our family all went to the bruncheon which was delicious!!! It was a little more crowded than we would have liked because there were two parties there (including a large group of hungry Boy Scouts who may wish to work on a badge on manners and etiquette), in addition to all of the regular bruncheon guests. We feasted on shrimp, clams, oysters, home made donuts, waffles, blueberry pancakes, eggs, bagels, bread, croissants, fresh fruit and assorted desserts. It was especially nice for my grandmother who used to visit Perona Farms often as a young lady since her parents had a lake house in Lake Mohawk (My parents and grandmother tried to locate said lake house on the way back to our house, but were unable to find it due to the massive amount of snow on all of the properties and the fact that they renumbered all of the house numbers.).

We couldn't let the occasion pass by without a cake. My husband insisted on an ice cream cake since EVERYONE likes ice cream cake. After relaxing and chatting for a while, we enjoyed cake. It was a wonderful family day! Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!!!! We love you both sooooooo much!!!
