Golden Anniversary

Seth's parents celebrated FIFTY years of marriage on December 15th. How wonderful!
 Back in October, we did family pictures. This is Bobby's '57 Chevelle, just like the one that they had when they first married

 James's devious grin cracks me up
 Adelyn and Brenda
 Melissa, Bobby, Brenda, and Seth



 This is my favorite picture!
Bryan White at Whitelake Studios took these pictures. He's amazing! He actually did Melissa's wedding picture and all of our kids' newborn and child photography. 

 On December 15th, which was a Friday night, we threw them a dinner party at Brenda's dad's house. This is where they got married, so it was quite appropriate. We set up tables in the front room and Chef Kern prepared the best salad I've ever had, beef tenderloin, vegetables, and of course his bread pudding and other delicious desserts. 
 Emily made them a cake
 Melissa made them an amazing book that recaps the last 50 years of their lives. It's filled with pictures and is really cool to look back on the memories. During the party, a slideshow was shown on 3 television screens that showed the pictures. The guests were siblings plus a few close friends they've made over the years. 
Seth did a sweet toast and they cut their cake


 Adelyn and James dressed up for the occasion 

 
 Seth and I (at the end of the night.... at this point I'm in slippers and Seth's shirt is untucked)
 James zonked out on the couch 

Happy anniversary, Bobby and Brenda!
