Celebrating 50 years!

On Saturday, we had a fabulous party to celebrate Tim's parents' 50th anniversary. It was great to see how many of their friends and family came out to celebrate and hear the excitement as each person was greeted and stories were shared. We had a reception from 2-4pm and then a family dinner. We basically had one big party from 2 until about 8pm. It was so much fun and I enjoyed planning and celebrating such a wonderful couple. I am truly blessed to have the best in-laws you could wish for. Happy Anniversary Millie Mom and Papa Rod! 

Afternoon food table
With planning help from Tim's mom, the food turned out great. 
And the flowers, created by a family friend, were gorgeous!
Eli and his cookie - he had been not-so-patiently waiting to eat one since I started making them.
The piano player for their wedding! Was so neat that she could be there. 
Mid-party, Cole had to steal some shut eye.
The guys hanging out
My surprise for the party - I made 50th cookies that looked like wedding cakes as take home favors for everyone.
Cole and Landon watching Phineas and Ferb.
The big kids table at dinner.
It was fun having all the kids there. They definitely kept each other entertained!
The "little" kids table - Cole and Landon again. 
Eli and Cole with Thomas and Ray - the kids of Tim's life long friend Preston. (We're excited to go camping with them in August!)
1st cousins - Brady, Kim, Rod, Tim and Kelly
How does one get so cute?! Naturally sweet, no sugar added. =)
2nd cousins - oh my!! We were only missing one 2nd cousin. Of the 12 of them, there are only 2 girls! 
Silly faces!
The honored couple - I think they had a lot of fun at the party!
Hanging outside. Quality "man" time.
