Happy Anniversary & Happy Father's Day!

Mommy & Daddy went to a Vietnamese wedding the night before Father's Day.  Everything was in Vietnamese - with a few exceprts of English - but they learned a lot about the weddings in other cultures.

Their friends served an 8 course meal, the bride wore 4 outfits, and the gifts are presented to the bride and groom by every table while they wear outfit #3.  Traditionally, the gifts are money - and the wedding party collects them as each table toasts the happy couple.  It was fun to spend time with some of Mommy's co-workers - and learn so much about weddings :-)

Of course, Mommy and Daddy celebrated their anniversary one day early at the wedding! 
Happy 12th Anniversary, Mom & Dad!




Daddy told Mommy not to buy any anniversary or Father's Day presents - and she listened.  Daddy didn't!  We bought Mommy 12 flowers - 4 purple flowers from Neela, 4 pink flowers from Kylie and 4 red flowers from Brooke.... and some pepper-infused chocolate, too! 

Father's Day, we went shopping for Daddy's breakfast!  We bought him a large variety of donuts and coffee.  We were headed for fishing and a picnic when the fire department got called to a large apartment fire...  Instead, we went and bought Daddy his fishing license - and took the picnic to the fire station to wait for him.  He came back while we were eating - so we spent a little time with him before going to the park :-) 

It turned into a great day for everyone!
