50 years of marriage is quite an accomplishment! These two have set an amazing example of a dedicated and loving marriage and we couldn't wait to celebrate their golden anniversary together.
We threw around a lot of ideas in the planning stages but finally settled on a big airbnb house in New Braunfels where we could just enjoy playing and relaxing together.
We kicked off our long weekend with a traditional German dinner in town with Uncle Steve and Aunt Sharon, who were also about to celebrate their 50th! 138 collective years of marriage at this table. Pretty amazing.
We headed home to cut their beautiful anniversary cake from the oldest bakery in Texas.
A quick height check to verify that Grammy is now shorter than 3 of her grandsons :)
The rest of the weekend, we just played! The pool was great and a fun way to cool off on an exceptionally hot day.
The theater room and popcorn machine were pretty popular as well.
We grilled and relaxed and just had a wonderful time catching up and laughing together.
Sunrises were really peaceful. Unfortunately, the river wasn't flowing in front of the house because a dam needed repairing, but it didn't dampen our fun at all.
Breakfast burritos kept everyone full of energy for more days of play!
I'm so happy we did this - we finally got a family portrait of everyone together and have such a wonderful memory of our special weekend. It was actually a really fun evening together with a sweet photographer who kept us laughing and got some wonderful shots before we lost everyone's attention. We're so blessed to be a part of this amazing family!
