Happy 40th!

On August 12, Mark's parents celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary! 

Us KIDS threw them a party with their closest family and friends to celebrate 40 years of love and life together! 

We hosted the party at our house, so I was busy, and I really didn't take too many pictures. Cara took more, so if you pop over to her blog, I'm sure she'll post a few more photos soon. 

We had a lovely afternoon happy hour! And it was fun to see them surrounded by their adult friends for once, instead of all of their little ones. (They were all hanging out in the basement, playing and watching Despicable Me! They were actually all really well behaved and our house wasn't left a total disaster!)

Brooks hung out upstairs and enjoyed lots of snuggles from Auntie Sue...

and Uncle Dave, and any other willing snuggler! 

Nolan and Payton were really the only people who sat at this folding table we set up in our dining room. 

Everyone else hung out in the kitchen...why wouldn't they, the food was great! Everyone made an appetizer or two to share! 

We had a wonderful time celebrating the excellent example of marriage that Bruce & Barb have shown us over the years! We are so thankful for their love and support and we pray that we will be blessed with a lasting love like theirs!
