50th Wedding Anniversary - November 26th, 2021

For my anniversary present Doug got down on one knee and gave me a beautiful new diamond ring. I love my shiny ring! I gave him a car cover for his 56 Chevy! 

 The reason we are all in Page is to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The kids knew I wanted a new family picture of all of us, so they hired a photographer. We all met at Lone Rock (Lake Powell) and did a photo shoot for 2 hours. The weather was perfect and the water was smooth as glass. I can't wait to see the final photos when they are ready. Ali is in Florida and she is the only person that couldn't make it.

After the photo shoot we all came back to Brad's house and they had a party for us. They had a cake,  (the bakery spelled anniversary wrong on the cake....I would have never noticed if they hadn't have shown it to me!) The kids had all written about some of their favorite memories of us. Jessica made a scrapbook with the old pictures in them, and we will add new pictures from this weekend. They had Doug and I play a version of the Newlywed game, and the kids were surprised how well we knew each other. We hardly missed any questions!

One of the best things they surprised us with is... they had us re create a photo we had taken almost 40 years ago. They made us the  exact same shirts and found red shorts, etc. It was a lot of fun!!

Then we all went back to our rental houses and relaxed for a little while. Alex and Zack came to ours and we worked on some puzzles for a few hours.

That evening we all came back to Brads and we played games. Alex taught us a new word game and then we played the Psychiatrist game. It was a fun day.
