Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary was June 19th, the day we drove to Utah. Mallory planned an anniversary party for her but we couldn't do it on the 19th because we got in too late so we had her plan it for the 20th. The reason we did a Father's Day lunch was so we could do a 50th Anniversary dinner for Mom. When we got to Emily's Mom came in and sat down and then after a couple of minutes she started to notice the pictures and the decoration and when she realized what we were doing she started to get pretty teary. It was really sweet and I am glad Mallory made it so special for her.
Leona has one facial expression that is just pretty cute and we see it a lot. When I was taking a picture of Rylee holding her little cousin I had her mimic that expression and she got it pretty spot on.
Happy 50th Mom and Dad! We were so happy that we got to celebrate this special day with Mom. I know she misses Dad a lot, we all do, but I am so grateful for the knowledge of eternity with our families.
