This past weekend my grandparents celebrated fifty-five years of wedded bliss. To celebrate, we hosted a little celebratory shindig consisting of take-out Chinese and homemade dessert. Delicious right? The reason for the take-out was that they enjoyed Chinese after their wedding fifty-five years ago. And let's be honest, who doesn't love take-out Chinese? To get the party started right, a local florist made a bouquet of fifty-five peachy roses. It was ginormous and beautiful.
Then a little playtime with their favorite [and only] great-granddaughter.
After the delish Chinese dinner, we sunk our teeth into this.

Oh, and if you are thinking of making this beauty, budget about $12. Two packages of Nabisco chocolate wafers were close to nine buckers before the cream, etc. It was a pretty fun group.
My parents are the ones on the way right of the photo [if you couldn't tell the resemblance]. We're pretty much all twins. My brother is the uber tall one in the back and I think he is slouching. Yea, we always throw out the mailman joke when we talk about how he is a head taller than everyone in the family. Sorry bud. The ones to the left of my grandparents are my uncle and aunt (my dad's older brother). ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdF-5s4MyGzyigvpXFSRKSIgJV-qQ7Hg60mW5FDwOSarGdVMIfmYFGKo43Tg5OSCaL1HbvqXv5lY9xH-xmtUAtH5nMmR9-wVxC62pDjoT_0iQaPuCkRrbIoXuvsZjwq3hAWwi9tbJi4Rih/s640/everyone2.jpg)
Oh, and here are the two lovebirds after fifty-five years.
Aren't they cutesy?
It was a fun evening and they said one of their favorite things was getting to celebrate with four generations. It's crazy to think that on our fifty-fifth wedding anniversary, Kerry and I will be seventy-eight and Ona's kids' kids might be there. Weird.
Happy #55 Grandpa & Grandma!
