Forty!

That face is the one Dad makes when he's trying not to cry.

Almost all of the family was together tonight to kick off holiday festivities with a dinner to celebrate Mom and Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary! Because their anniversary is two days before Christmas it tends to get swept under the rug and forgotten about, but you can't let that happen for 40. You may remember the photos we had shot when we were all together in August - they were Mom and Dad's anniversary gift this year (pulled together in an album for them, and of course all the images to print/use as they see fit).

Dinner was amazing - we went to Praline Bakery & Bistro and I can't recommend it enough. The service was some of the best I've ever seen. The food was delicious. They even offer a perfect kids menu. Dessert...well, "Bakery" comes first in their name, so I'm sure you can imagine that if the food is delicious, the dessert was even better!
