Celebrating 60 And 80 Years

This weekend was a fun filled fast weekend with family. We all headed to the lake for a little surprise celebration for mema and papa's 60th wedding anniversary and papa's 80th birthday. All the fam came in town and hit the ground running busy busy to make this a special weekend for them. Friday night Caleb let Fulton play with his toys... sweet. Aunt Keri was trying to keep him entertained because we were coming up on bedtime and I could see a meltdown in our future.

Showing some love to each other.

Saturday morning daddy and little buddy did some reading. We want to raise our child right

Aunt Keri got Pops this super sized Mtn Dew and Fulton was dying to break into it. Have you ever seen a coke this big? It's ridiculous.

Fulton really does love his Pops... he woke up just in time for the party to start and was in a little bit of a daze.
Quick family picture before the madness began. Now, you know older generations... they like to arrive early. Well, we had a really early guest... an hour and a half before the party started. Talk about panic mode. We all quickly said "not it" for as to who was going to entertain them until it started.

A little bit of the decor. Mom did great decorating and everybody came together to make the food look fabulous. We even had a real live wedding cake. Presh!

Look at the cute couple! That is their wedding picture next to the cake. Papa had his eyes closed in their wedding pic. At least they were open this time.

We had to force them to be nice to each other during this.

Lots of friends and family. Let's just say lots of free coffee at McDonalds for these folks.

Kim, Keri, and Ann working hard in the kitchen.

Susan, Mom, and Amber were on the welcoming crew. Amber has a little bun in the oven and they just found out it's a boy!! We have lots of little boy cousins to play with each other.

Me and sister. Sister and I worked hard Saturday with cutting the cakes. I was in charge of the wedding cake which I did several samples of because it was red velvet, my fav. Sister did the birthday cake and her hands may forever be green from the icing.

The boys worked hard too. Matt was on daddy duty all day and he was a champ. Fulton was a trooper and got lots of cheek pulling from the little old ladies. He loves it.

But, the party wore him out. He was pooped by the end of it.

At the end of the day we had to take our group family shot... despite the moans and groans.

And we ended the night all watching mema and papa open their cards and gifts. Lots of people love this sweet couple!
