Happy 50th Anniversary!

Michael's parents celebrated 50 years of marriage in February. We all went to a guest ranch south of town for dinner. It was wonderful! Lillian showed up in the coat Mike bought for her for a wedding gift. It looks like fur, but I think they called it "muton" or mutton. I think it's actually sheep? Anyways, it is lovely and she was/is lovely, and Mike was/is quite the dashing romantic fella! He did things for her all week...roses, breakfast cooked and served by two of the boys on the morning of the anniversary...romantic things, you see!

Look at these two! Aren't they beautiful?!

This is the family photo we had taken in December, along with the photo of just Gramma and Papa, a frame that said "We did..." under their wedding photo and "We still do." under the current photo, wine glasses from the grand girls, a gold cake cutter and server from Mike and Ang by the anniversary cake with a photo of Lillian in high school and Mike in the Marines (a combination of photos they both love), and truffles Kayla made.
Setting up the family photos we had framed for them...there's Heath, Jon, Angila, and Brady.

Kayla and our dear family friend, Jean, (and Angila's MIL), sharing a laugh.

Something funny is going on at that end of the table!

Brady read a letter Mandi and Jami sent to reminisce as they couldn't make it home for the party. Here, Lillian is sharing some story...probably about when the four grand girls were little! There are plenty of those!

Then laughing so hard about it because so many of the things the girls did were so funny!

Annisia enjoying her Shirley Temple (served in a shot glass, of all things!)

Uncle Mike and Jonathan discussing important things, like probably anything about horses or tractors!

Aunt Marti and Jonathan engaged in another discussion...(she's probably telling him to continue obeying his elders so he doesn't get in trouble like the kids she helps in Juvy!)

Then some family pics...This one is my favorite. Michael is tickling Annisia and Jonathan is having a ball, giggling about something!

Daddy and me!
