The 50th party

Last Sunday my sister and I hosted a party in
honor of my parents
50th wedding anniversary.

The day began with our family attending Sunday

morning church services at the same church

they were married in and still attend every week.

After the service was over we gathered with more family

and friends at a local event center for lunch.

My sister and her husband own a catering business,

so they handled the food.

And what a wonderful meal they prepared!

I was in charge of the cake, refreshments and decorations.

I used my moms green Ball jars as the centerpieces.

They were filled with a mixture of 50 yellow roses and white daisies.

Their black and white wedding picture was the focal point.

I was happy with how they turned out!

I also made an arrangement of roses for the church alter,

then transferred  to the banquet hall for a centerpiece

at the head table.

My aunt suggested making the same creamcheese mints for the

party, that she had made for their wedding reception.

Simple, but tastey!

It was a very special day for my parents.

They were surrounded by lots of family and friends

sharing great memories and well wishes!

I know they enjoyed every minute of this special day!

Thanks mom and dad for being such a wonderful blessing

in our lives!
