Our 30th Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday December 22nd was our 30th wedding anniversary. We got married then because I was teaching school and it was Christmas break. While the children were growing up, we used that day to do our Christmas shopping and then went out for a quick meal alone. But now Linnea lives away from home, so we don't want to go out while she's home.
We decided to have a nice meal at home .
Den likes Prime rib, so we got one and then added all the delicious bits that go with it like mashed potatoes and gravy, Yorkshire pudding (Linnea makes the best!), steamed carrots and green beans, mushrooms, and fresh cranberry sauce. For dessert we had a trifle.
We ate at 8 and finally finished about 9:30. It was a really delicious and fun meal. We even have leftovers. Nice not to get the check, but still had to clean up!

Den brought home the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen. Another nice thing about getting married at Christmas time is that things you get have a Christmas theme. This bouquet has red balls and pine branches in it as well as the gold ribbon. Sooo lovely!
