Mom and Dad's Farewell to NY party

Well, no matter how hard we try, Mom and Dad are still determined to move back to PA. Even adding two more grandchildren to the family didn't work *sigh*. So, even though we want them to stay, we thought we'd have a party to send them off properly and to wish them all the best in this new chapter in their life. Plus, its a very good reason to feast on yummy food and cake *wink, wink*.

Here are some pictures from the party.
