Our "New" Anniversary Tradition

The best memories I have of my parents are of them celebrating their anniversary. They have been married for 43 years.

When we were little, my mom would put on her wedding dress every year on their anniversary day, October 7th. Throughout the years, sometimes it would zip and other years it wouldn't.  But so much excitement was built up in mind that someday I would wear my mom's wedding dress on my wedding day! (Unfortunately, my mom's dress was not preserved and turned yellowish.)

I remember her standing at the top of the stairs making her decent into the living room and into the kitchen to show everyone... her groom, her sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and two little girls watching their mother transform into a beautiful princess!! It was magical!

This year Cookie Man And I celebrated our 5 year anniversary and it was the first time I put on my wedding dress since my groom took it off :) my wedding day!

The best part was walking into the living room and DOS, who is 2 years old, looked at me with such joy in her eyes and announce that I was a "Beautiful Princess"!!  I am excited to share this anniversary tradition with my kids! I am even going to let the girls put it on each year!
