It was a special privilege to celebrate Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary. Their commitment to their wedding vows is something I am grateful for and don't take for granted.
After Janell and I thought maybe they wouldn't leave their house so we could get ready, we thought maybe they weren't coming back! They did arrive and the grandchildren greeted them with cheers. Quite possibly that was the sweetest moment of the whole evening and it was a completely spontaneous idea.
Now there are 22 of us!
Making a watermelon "cake" was my idea and Janell executed it. (This happens with at least one thing for every party I plan!) Janell is awesome and it turned out really well.
We passed food for the meal for the first time with the whole family. It was a bit crazy and the grandchildren end of the table was even more crazy.
Janell's big idea was to give Mom and Dad a digital photo book with a layout for each of the 50 years of their marriage. She and I worked really hard on that project! It was worth it though! I think it turned out well and Mom and Dad were pleased.
