Organising grandparents’ birthday and anniversary

February 7th, 2009 · 5 Comments · A father's POV, Adventures, Food & feeding, Parenting musing, Parenting rules, Photo opp, Simple pleasures, milestones

Those of you invited, or know people who are invited, please don’t disclose this.

It is my parents’ 50th anniversary this year, and also a joint celebration for my mum’s birthday.

But my dad doesn’t want people to know these.

He is kinda shy about it, you see.

Also, both my parents just want friends and family to come empty handed. That’s right. No gifts, no ang pows.

They have insisted that the dinner event, some 18 tables I hear, to just be a sit-down happy joy joy dinner with close friends and relatives. No stage, no mics, no hoo-ha.

But the grandkids are up to something…..

Some parts of their grand-plan are finalised, others still need the Committee’s approval and budgetary sign-offs :)

Which ones to use?

    Well….

    The plans are going well, insofar as my niece’s original plan.

    But us adults are also getting excited about the dinner and have been giving lots of input, inadvertently modifying her plans!

    Poor kid is taking all this in good fun though, and seems to be enjoying the planning and execution!
