40/60 Celebration ~ Party time!!

The main reason we chose to visit Minnesota this summer, was to celebrate Mom's 60th Birthday & my parents 40th Anniversary on August 14th!  It was also a great way for Mauren to meet all her Minnesota relatives!  Here's some pics preparing for and celebrating.....

Here's the Prep-Team...Thanks everyone for your help!

Yummy!!!



Here's some decorations from the party.  Mom saved their original wedding cake topper and for the most part it was in one piece!  Mom also made the centerpieces where many wedding pictures and pictures from the past were displayed.

chips, punch & coffee

Thanks Bonnie & Bev for your help in the kitchen!!

The Wedding Party - 40 years later!

Here's a picture of Mom's

siblings, the Gram kids, that were able to make it to Mom & Dad's party.  Only 1 sister was not able to make it. 

Fun pictures from the party!

I guess the fun pictures are of all the pretty girls in our family! 

Thank you for attending Mom & Dad's celebration.  We cannot thank you enough for spending your day with us.  I know Mom & Dad appreciate you all.  It was great to see everyone ~ it's been way too long for some of you!  Thank you.
