50th Anniversary Celebration

Josh's grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last Friday, and we all came together on Saturday to honor them. Josh and I are hitting 5 years in August and that feels like a big accomplishment...I can't imagine 50!

Sorry for those who aren't family-here come a bunch of family portraits!




Mary, Dave, and their kids-Veronica, John, and Divana.










The Osborn Family.







Sievers side.








Bowyers and Smiths represent.









Everybody together. What you don't see was me sprinting into the picture after setting my self-timer. I'm sure it was super graceful.





After we ate lunch, we headed back to Josh's parents to continue the party. The siblings' families were asked to each put together a short tribute to Mary and Dave.

I don't have any pictures of our contribution, but here is the video. Anniversary Song. Josh's sisters Emilee and Brittany wrote the lyrics and Josh rocked the guitar. Hopefully no one is mad I put this up for the world to see!

Veronica and Mike (Josh's aunt and uncle) put together a hilarious Jeopardy game.




Everyone laughing (probably at Mary and Dave's expense!) while playing Jeopardy.







Josh's mom asked everyone to bring ugly 50th anniversary gifts for them to open. I think Grandma's Mary's only request of the party was not to receive any ugly 50th items. At first, they weren't sure if it was a joke or not and tried to act grateful.





This was probably the 5th or 6th present. I love their expressions.





Not to worry, they received an actual nice present of a weekend trip to Michigan.

Happy Anniversary to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave!
