30 Year Anniversary

CONGRATULATIONS to my Mum and Dad on celebrating their 30^th wedding anniversary today. That’s thirty years of memories and milestones, two daughters who love them both very much and two grandchildren who think the world of them. My sister and I decided to help them celebrate by putting on a morning tea and inviting close friends and family to join us over the weekend. 

I was lucky to have my Aunty visiting who knows how to make and ice cakes so she gave me a lesson in cake icing and together we created and put together mum and dads anniversary cake. I'm so happy with how it turned out and everyone seemed to enjoy eating it.

My sister and I made the decorations for the table ourselves. We made a 3D Gold number 30 which turned out to be a bit more difficult than we thought it would be but it looked good on the table. I also printed out photos of my parents over the years and hung them up on some string with little white pegs. Using a Print Shop program I created a page of words that described some of their milestones and places they've been over the last 30 years.

We also purchased a tier assembly kit from ebay and bought some cheap plates which my husband drilled holes in the middle of and he also put it all together for us. It looked great on the table with little muffins on it. We also had pumpkin scones and pizza scrolls that my sister made and also a cheese platter and of course the cake.

My parents do so much for my sister and I, especially me with my kids. It was a nice morning and great to catch up with some people I hadn't seen for a while.

Now my parents are off on a road trip from Queensland to Melbourne for a well earned holiday, so I wish them safe travel and know they will create even more memories for their next anniversary milestone.
