My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 3rd of this year. They were married in 1961. Wow! Way to go you guys! (I won't comment how old that means you are....let's just say, you both look great!
In honor of their special accomplishment, my siblings and their spouses all went out to dinner....just the adults! I think that was the first time we've ever done that without at least a kid or two. They wanted to go to Red Lobster, and since we aim to please, we granted their wish. I am not a seafood lover and neither is my brother's wife, but we survived. I had chicken, just incase you were wondering. Todd, however, was so excited. We've only been to Red Lobster one other time and I don't remember much about it. So he was thrilled when he heard we were going there. My poor, deprived husband!
Mom and Dad.....still smiling!
I decided in order to be fair, I would post the family pictures in chronological age....sorry Wendy.
Wendy and Anthony
Melissa and Todd
Brad and Michelle
(my younger sister wasn't there)
And here is the beautiful card we gave them. Yes, I made it. I know, you can hardly contain yourself because it's so cute..... :)
50 years...
...and still swimming!
It was a fun evening. We gave them a gift certificate to Red Lobster, so they could go again sometime....they love the place, but don't go very often, and 6 movie tickets. After dinner, we got all the cousins together and "hung out" at our place. It really was great!
Congrats Mom and Dad for 50 years! I didn't say you were swimming well, but at least you're still treading water. (HA) Keep it up! We love you both!
