simple pero rock! ^^

something for a post celebration.
04.13.2008

my parents were out for FOUR full days.
THEY turned 25 last April 10th:)
and went away for their silver wedding anniversary...
(yes, it was great of them to leave their fab daughters behind:/)

so we conspired and gave them a hefty surprise.
well, it wasn't "GRAND". but we're pretty sure it did rock our parents' worlds.

a challenge. we tried to cook something up on a budget. literally.
worked with tons of creativity. EFFORT. and a whole lotta teamwork.
prepped a 5-course meal. from scratch. yup, from appetizers all the way to dessert!
twas a first for us three, and i tell you... it was hard to work in the kitchen with the three of us around (we almost fought and all. haha).

thank God everything came out smoothly. SUCCESS! :)
(tough luck, my cam broke down during THE day, so much for documentation)

every bead of sweat and every ounce of effort paid off.
our parents didn't realize we could do something like this. my mom didn't think we could cook this well... my dad thought it was pretty neat altogether "fine dining right there in our garden..."

i love my folks. i heart my sisters. i love my family... to pieces.

creds: thanks to my sister, Ross , for putting this vid together.
