Happy 40th Anniversary!!

This past weekend we enjoyed celebrating with Alvar's parents their 40th Wedding Anniversary. We spent the day in Fergus CanRef Church, meeting LOTS of people at the open house in the afternoon, and then a nice dinner with close family and friends for the evening. Everyone had an enjoyable time - the kids ran around like crazy kids - playing in the nursery and having fun with their cousins. Boy, were they all tired when the day was done (us too!).

So congratulations again to Alvar's parents! 40 years is such a blessing from God - and something that we can strive for in our marriage too - in a broken world it is so refreshing to see that yes, couples can make it together - it may take work, and there are always bumps on the road - but with God as our Rock, it can happen :)

The Happily Married Couple

The whole family - not easy getting this shot! In the next month or so we look forward to getting a professional to do the job of getting us organized for some nice family shots.

Our nieces and nephews

Our rugrats - oh, and you just gotta love Anna's "less-than-thrilled" expression here - she was not impressed that we dared to ask her to stop running for a minute to get this shot...I mean, what kind of parents would do that to their children??? :)
Mmmm....cake :)

Steady stream of people coming to the open house that afternoon

The M.C. Extraordinaire - mine truly...Alvar :)


Our delicious dinner

Alvar and I did a little skit - we "acted out" the song "When I'm 64" by the Beatles - don't we look fantastic, I especially loved Alvar's hat!!

Caleb's hi-light of the evening, using a knife to butter his bun (and Anna's and Alvar's too - things couldn't possibly get much better for him!)
