My parents celebrated 25 years of marriage on December 31st and their children (of which I am one) wanted to think of a really special gift for them. We tossed around ideas all year and honestly some of us really wanted to send them a a fabulous trip. Too bad we hadn't saved enough money.
Right after Thanksgiving we started a series of sibling meetings and decided that what would be most enjoyable for all those involved would be to buy them the sectional sofa that dad has dreamed of for years. Yes, that would be expensive but there are five of us and we are adults...pretty much.
The project grew into a whole living room remodel and we planned as we desperately tried to keep it a secret. On their anniversary they left for four days and we got right to work. With the help of some great friends and family we were able to pull it off and mostly finish our awesome "new" room.
