60th Anniversary Party

Here are a few candid photo's from the 60th Anniversary party that we held during the family reunion to honor my parents.  What a year for them, both turned 80 and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary!

Here are the pretty flowers for the table, we left them in the church for the next day for all to enjoy and the lilies waited to get to my parents home the next day to open up!

And of course the glad's waited too, we tried to "force" them to open but they had their own agenda!

My Mom wanted a table of memorabilia set up at the party, family photo, memory books etc.  The quilt is the one I made them for their 50th.  The flowers there were sent by their flower girl from their wedding!  My cousin Barb....wish she could have come but the flowers were such a nice touch.

Everyone enjoyed some visiting and before we knew it the room was filled with people!  We had close to 120 attend the party.

These ladies from the church kept the chicken sandwich's coming...

Mom and Marcy...

And more ladies from the church cutting the 3 big cakes...

Here are the bride and groom!

Sharon and Jerry... they stayed at our home and it was such fun to get acquainted with Jerry....love that Texas accent!

And Rachael wanted in the photo too!

There was a slide show playing thru the party, Mike did a wonderful job on it.  Lots of fun photo's of their early married life thru Great Grandchildren! Everyone enjoyed it so much.  My sister has been scanning photo's for a month to get this ready.

Alissa and Alan...

Mom and Dad with Pastor John...

Amy and Ethan...yum chocolate cake!  What a fun party!

Pastor John had a nice prayer and words to say about my parents...

It was so nice to see so many people come to celebrate my parents!

And then the little ones had a blast!  The church has a beautiful courtyard outside and Bode and Cailyn are here enjoying sort of "doing nothing" as little ones do!

Here is Ken and his sister Karen who was here from Boise.  What a great party!  It was hard to unwind after. A few of us ended up going out to eat at Jason's Deli and then Sharon and Jerry wanted to see the cabinet shop so we stopped there after dark too.  Finally got home to jammies, a glass of wine and going thru more pictures together.  What a fun day!
