The Celebration!

Thanks to Emma & Dean for music and flashing DJ lights for celebration dance!  Dean was great at choosing songs that were popular when my parents got married, throwing in music for the younger cousins, making sure there were enough slow songs for aunts & uncle couples to dance to...An hour was just right.

Stewart carried down rolling chairs for Mom & Dad to sit on, but they stayed in the middle of the dancing, spinning each other.

 

Then they blew out 50 candles in JohnB's amazing two-pan black bottom cake!

There is still a month and a half until the actual wedding date anniversary, but this summer was the only time we could gather almost all of us (before YW camps, Scout camps, band camps...).  Dad insisted that if you would have come to his funeral last spring (close call) please come to his reunion celebration while he is still alive.

I am thankful for parents who love each other and have worked hard to have a good marriage.  And thankful for siblings who have found good spouses and their beautiful children so easy for me to love!  It was a good reunion.
