Parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary

My 3 siblings & I threw our parents a surprise 40th wedding anniversary & we pulled it off! I had told them that I had been called to work that Saturday & so I dropped off my kids to them. Then my sister told them that she got a coupon for a free portrait so she asked them to be dressed that afternoon & have their picture taken with the grandkids. Of course, I was at my sister's setting up & there wasn't a portrait date. They were so surprised that even when we yelled surprise it didn't register for what (afterall, the party was a few days before their actual anniversary). Anyway, many of the family was able to join the celebration. We had lechon (roast pig) & several filipino dishes. We all had a great time! My parents were very happy.



I made & decorated the cake. Not too shabby, eh?


Wasn't I suppose to have an apple in my mouth? Is this a Filipino thing? (FYI: no!)
