"Good morning." Grace said smiling as Eli woke up.
"I'm still asleep." Eli said as he rolled over.
"I don't think so, we have a place to go."
"Just act like I never woke up." He begged.
"Not going to work, sorry. Now get out of bed before we are late." Grace said getting up.
Eli got up too. "So where are we headed any way?"
"To Booklovers we have to help set up for the party, plus we're the reason that mom and Rick end up going there."
"This sure sounds like a lot of fun." Eli said sarcastically.
"Well we'll have to make it fun."
"Rick, did any of the kids tell you that they had any plans to go any where's?" Lily asked as she came into the living room.
"Not that I know of, why?" He asked as he turned off the TV.
"Because none of them are here."
"Well last time I checked that was a good thing, maybe they thought they'd give us the house to our selves for our anniversary."
"Well if that's what they did then I'm glad I guess."
"Well I wouldn't worry about it, let's just enjoy the peace and quite now that we have it."
"How can we help?" Zoe asked as Jamie and her walked up to Barbara.
"Well did you ask your dad?" Barbara asked.
"Yeah, he sent us to you." Zoe said.
"Ok, well go see if your dad or Judy needs help." Barbara said to Jamie.
"They'll probably just send us to someone else." Jamie complained.
"It's like they think we're too young to do anything with out messing everything up." Zoe said.
"Then let's leave, we know when they're calling your parents, we can be back by then."
"That's sounds like a good idea, let's go." Zoe said as they headed out of the door.
"Hey is there anything we can do?" Karen asked as her and Henry came in.
"Hey Karen, I didn't think you'd come." Peg said as she went up to her.
"Well I wanted to celebrate with everyone. Oh Peg this is my boyfriend, Henry. Henry this is Rick's mother Peg."
"Nice to meet you." Peg said reaching out her hand.
"It's nice to meet you too." He said smiling.
"Mom, you came." Jessie said walking up with Katie. "Eli, Mom's here!" Jessie screamed to the back.
Eli came out. "Hey I'm glad you two came, we could use Henry."
"Well I feel useless." Karen said as Henry and Eli left the room.
"Don't feel bad, we've been put in charge of the food and drinks plus he's not going to let you work." Grace said coming in.
"Well she wouldn't be much help any way, you are in a wheelchair." Judy said walking up.
"You know I'm not completely useless." Karen said.
"We never said you're useless, you'll be a lot of help with cooking." Barbara said.
"Probably better than me." Tiffany said as she came up with Mady.
"Show me to the kitchen." Karen said.
"I'm offering a toast." Rick said as he poured Lily a glass.
"I can't drink this." Lily said as he gave the glass back.
"It's nonalcoholic, don't worry about it." He said as he pushed the glass back.
"Well then what is the toast for?" She asked smiling.
"To us that we've made it through this year and we're still married." He said holding up his glass.
"And we're still crazy for each other." Lily said smiling and clicked his glass.
The phone rang.
"Don't answer it." Rick begged.
"I have to it could be the kids." Lily said as she answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Mom, I'm at Dad's with Zoe, Eli, Jessie and Katie we need you to come and pick us up, my car won't work."
"Sure, we'll be there soon." Lily said as she put the phone down. "We have to go to the restaurant."
"Great!" Rick said sarcastically.
