Spring Break - the surprise!

Finally, the sweetest part of the trip (besides little Allen's smiles!) was not just being together but celebrating a pretty significant event...

We decided to surprise Mojo & Dado with a nice dinner in honor of 

40 years of marriage!

So while Uncle Al was driving them around town thinking we would be meeting them at some upscale restaurant, we were putting together their table at the nicest location in town: 

the back patio!

Aunt Jei made a flawlessly beautiful red velvet cake in honor of their "ruby" anniversary, 

and the table was just lovely with roses, candles, lights and best of all 

a poster picture of M &D's wedding photo!

Of course, when they came back to the house thinking we were cancelling our nice dinner due to illness (thanks for the convincing performance, Jason! ☺) the surprise was complete and we could all enjoy a long, fun evening of chinese take out and  old wedding stories together under the twinkling lights and cool breeze!

Turns out being together for 40 years isn't too bad when you're in love... ♥
