it’s the big 5-0 for my dad this year, so hopefully they’re doing something to celebrate in a big way! actually, my parents’ wedding anniversary is coming up in less than a month and my grandparents and todd and i planned a two-week trip to europe for them! so exciting, and i wish i was going!!! they’re going to paris, florence, and asolo, which is a suburb of venice, so i’m sure they’ll have a great time! perhaps just another year until i can jump back over the pond… anyway, happy birthday dad!

cute stationery
