50 Years

Wes' parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Thursday, December 15th.  In honor of this, we hosted a small dinner party at our house.  It ended up being a lovely, very low key evening... perfect for Mae and Glenn.  Wes put together a really sweet slide show with lots of family photos, Tiffany made a couple of special cakes and Nicole and I made the dinner.  I was actually in charge of making the Deti Family Spaghetti recipe.  I've eaten this delicious sauce plenty of times over the years, but I've never actually made it before.  I did not want to mess it up.  As I was preparing it in the morning, I called both of Wes' sisters a couple of times just to double check that I was doing certain things correctly.  Even with all of those phone calls, guess what?!  I still screwed it up!  Just as I threw in the last meatball into the sauce I realized that I had forgotten the cracker crumbs!  Aaaargh!  Needless to say, I was a little bugged with myself, but all turned out fine.  There's always next time...  Here's a few pictures of the evening.
Dylan was being helpful and tossing the salad.

Karin! I know Travis! We went to high school together and were really good friends. How fun to see him on your blog!
