What's a 'Versary'?

I was greeted with the question "What's a Versary Mom?" last night. I immediately realized what HC was talking about. Monday, while running errands, I received a call from a friend. She was calling to say "Belated Happy Anniversary". During the phone call she asked if we did anything special and I told her that we had HC's birthday party on our anniversary. Since the day was so busy we left it at that and didn't really do anything special. I felt like our recent trip was anniversary enough. Obviously HC heard this and kept this question in mind until Wednesday night. Then the questions came:

HC: What is a versary?
Me: When Mommy and Daddy go to eat a special dinner alone to celebrate being married.
HC: What do people do on ANversarys?
Me: What do you mean?
HC: Do they have music?
Me: Yes
HC: Good I have music. Do they have brownies?
Me: Yes (HC giggled and hurriedly put the remaining brownies on the table)
HC: What else?
Me: They have presents and cards.
HC: Oh. I need some paper. (She quickly made anniversary cards for Me, Steve, herself and JB)

Little did I know that she and JB had secretly set the table and were busy at work. She told me NOT to look at the versary party because it wasn't ready yet.
Then when Daddy came home they sang us a one of a kind Happy Versary song and we celebrated together.
JB found it fun to cram his mouth FULL of brownies.
And HC delicately tried to be 'boy icky gross' too.
JB LOVED being silly.
And HC had a BLAST at her first versary party!

It was really fun seeing her take over the organizing of our party. She was so thoughtful and this was unprovoked too. When Steve walked in the door they both shouted out "Happy Anversary Party Daddy. It's your Versary party tonight." He looked at me bewildered and I told him the inside story.

Thanks HC for our fun Anniversary Party! 11 years is worthy of such honorable festivities as you created! We love you and JB so much! Happy 'Versary' Steve! 11 years flew by fast! I love you!
