Happy Anniversary

My Uncle Rick & Aunt Debi threw my grandparents a surprise Anniversary party tonight in Springville, Utah at the new Magleby's Restaurant.

Grandma thought it was their 61st.

Grandpa thought it was their 62nd.

I said, "Well, once you hit 60, the numbers get kinda fuzzy."

He said, "Anne, at my age, a lot of things get kinda fuzzy!"

~Love them~

Before dinner we just sort of hung out together.

We had the whole basement to ourselves for our little family party.

Cousin Grant with his niece, Ava.

She was 'washing' her toy dogs in the fountain.

Cousin Karin, recently returned from Philadelphia where her

new husband BEN

was interning for the summer.

SO glad she is back...and yes, we already picked up on our three year(+) tradition of Tuesday night ice cream this past Tuesday.

Then, Grandpa made the rounds in conversation with the family members.

Ann (wife of cousin Jamin)

Cousin Rob, grandpa, my brother Call, and cousin Ganon.

Cousin Grant with his daughter, Monet

Karin and Ben Meyers

Karin got a free cake with a bow on it because her dish was the last to come out and the manager felt bad. I offered to give her my half eaten dish of pasta and said I would wait for the late food (and free cake) but apparently she wasn't interested in the trade.

Jamin and Ann

Cousin Lyn and I

(She recently changed her hair to an Auburn and it's so pretty)

Then Grandpa stood up and said he wanted to give a 'speech.'

It was sweet and we were laughing, then they got tender and I realized I should be recording it. So here's the last little snippet...

What a blessing to be a part of such a family and heritage.

We had 19 in total:

Uncle Rick

Aunt Debi

Cousin Rob

His daughter Ava

Cousin Ganon

Cousin Grant

His wife Hayley

His daughter Monet

Cousin Matt

Cousin Lyn

Cousin Jamin

His wife Ann

Cousin Chase

Me

Cousin Call

Cousin Karin

Her husband Ben

Grandma

Grandpa

...and the rest of the family in spirit.

We missed you all!
