A marriage revisited...

Well we had a great 25th Anniversary dinner at Ness & Salomon's with the whole family. It was postponed a week so we could get an earlier start to Wolf Creek last weekend. Vanessa & Salomon made some delicious Greek food (my personal favorite) - chicken gyros, Greek salad and cuscus (sp?). Dessert was baklava! Katie made yummy punch no one could get enough of. But the REAL treat (besides playing with all the kids and watching Ken eat) was the DVD Salomon made for us! He set the pics to the song played at our reception - "Just You and I" by Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle. It was a marriage revisited. So sweet.

THEN it happened...just when we thought it was over and we thanked them for doing that for us...the real fun started. The second half was random pics of Carl and I over the last 25 years - NONE of them flattering, set to a song most of you have never heard "Chaccaron". It's a family joke and a favorite...Ken found it during a random web music search and passed it on to me thinking I'd like it. I passed it on to Salomon for translation. As it turns out it's nonsense so we all had a good laugh. But it IS catchy and I like it!

Anyway, it was so unexpected and so appalling that we (I) scared the kids laughing so loud!
I will post pics as they come in from our family historians: Katie and Jake.
I'm still debating whether to post the video...not sure you all are ready for that :)
