On August 31st, Skip's family gathered to celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss. Sally and Ralph, bride and groom, had their two children and six grandchildren under one roof for a very special weekend.
We looked through their wedding album and read their announcements.
Oh, and there was LOTS of cousin love... many hugs, smiles, etc.
The bride and groom, forever frugal, declined a lavish party or gathering, but they did consent to a nice luncheon.
Below are the granddaughters -- with the exception of Lindsey, who is very adept at camera dodging.
And.... the boys:
Soon enough we made our way to the restaurant and were taken into the "Sun Room" at the restaurant. Once there, the duo settled in with their cousins at the kiddie table.
Skip did some nice photobombing.
And... he's in!
And I even got one of Lindsey. Granted, her mom coerced her into this photo, but I got it, too. Such lovely sisters!
William George was on his best behavior.
HA! Trick dog! He so wasn't, but he tried hard to keep it together.
He really liked smelling the flameless candles.
The fancy foursome:
The duo giving Gran a hug.
William Geo taking some calls after lunch was served.
Our Grace-bug was in full celebratory mode, and she burst into tears when the weekend was over.
After a decadent lunch, we went to Ralph & Sally's for an afternoon of fun. The cousins played, and there may or may not have been football to watch. We are giving Lindsey full credit for being brave enough to have football viewing coordinated during the anniversary weekend.
After a super casual dinner, we feasted on cake.
We celebrated the happy couple who have given their family the gift of a lifetime of love.
Happy anniversary! Here's to many, many, many more!
