and they said it wouldn't last....


i'm getting personal on my blog today
with photos from my parents 50th wedding anniversary party
that we celebrated yesterday
at my little sister's house
~
and
yes
those parents of mine
are still sucking face
after all these years



here are all of their grandchildren
~plus my daughter's boyfriend~
and
~minus the second oldest granddaughter~
who was here earlier in the week
but
had to get back to boston where she works and goes to college


here's a joke
~
what do you get when you have 3 daughters
~besides drama and a few headaches~
3 gorgeous son-in-laws
of course


and
here are some of my cousins from my dad's side of the family
who were amazingly cooperative when it came to have their having photo taken
thank you
rick and cindy
steve and judy
sheldon, mike and pam
you guys were so much fun
~
the best part of my day
was spent
pulling friends and family aside
letting them believe that they were just going to have a regular photo taken
and
then hitting them with the word
kiss
~
my favorite photos
are
and
i think if you have time to look at them
you'll get quite a kick out of them
too

  2. I still remember the celebration we had for my parents' 50th although it's been 20 years. Such a wonderful family time.
    Great pics --I esp. like the one of the grandchildren. We make a point of getting those at every function and it's fun to see how they change from celebration to celebration.

  8. So - did your Mom get your Dad for her b-day present 50 years ago? Maybe there was a "no return" policy. Great to see a 50 year union. Happy Anniversary to them!

  12. Congratulations to your parents. Big love to them. My in-laws have their 50th in August and we are throwing them a party when we go to Oregon this summer. It should be great fun. I'll have to remember the kissy picture idea.

  16. Oh, Beth, this warms my heart -- and what a treasure these photos are. My mum died a couple of months after their 27th anniversary -- How I wish we could have had a few more of those galas to celebrate!
