Last night we celebrated my Mother and Father in Law's 50 Wedding Anniversary. We had hoped that we could get the whole family out here for this but it crept up so quickly after Christmas and we were running out of time. So, between Me, Darcie, Coleen and Jamie, we pulled off a pretty nice event.
We moved our living room furniture out and set up 4 long tables with room to spare.
We decorated the place like a dinner theatre.
Everyone except Mom and Dad came early to help set up and get the food ready.
We had a nice dinner of a choice of chicken or salmon with roasted potatoes, green salad and rolls.
Of course Mike started out by toasting to Mom and Dad's 50 years of marriage!
He pointed out how important the family is and how Mom and Dad have accomplished something so rare these days.Then Mark took a turn and that got everyone conversing about old times.
After dinner we had some entertainment by the kids.
I even sang this time....even though I had to choke back tears throughout my whole song!
After dinner and entertainment, we had Mom and Dad cut their cake that Darcie made. They cut it and fed it to eachother just as they should have 50 years ago...they said they never did do this part!
They were so cute! We made them kiss several times because our camera's
just weren't quick enough to get that shot! Darnit!
Anyway, it was a fun time for everyone.
So, here's to the happy couple! 50 Years of hard work, loyalty, love
and never ending devotion!
Cheers!
