These are my in-laws, last weekend we had a lovely lunch with the whole family (minus a couple of toddlers) to celebrate their 50 years of marriage. 50 years! Wow, Music Man and I have been married for a whole 6, I can't imagine 50.
50 Years and 4 sons later. I don't know what life would be like living with 5 men in the house. It's no wonder my lovely mother in law likes to collect porcelain dolls.
Miss E with her best friend, Poppa. Poppa emigrated to New Zealand in his early 20's from Holland. He has a wonderful sense of humour, very much like my Dad.
This is Miss E's other best friend. Her cousin that is 10 weeks older than her. He had a tummy ache from drinking too much lemonade and his Dad had to tickle the tummy ache away. It seems to work.
See, this was him before. What a cute face! Daddy fixed it.
The eldest brother, winding his wife up. Getting him to behave for a photo seemed impossible! They have two boys.
Music Man.
The baby brother and his wife. We had our older children 10 weeks apart and our younger 3 months apart. We feel each others' pain. The pain of motherhood is a bond that men do not understand.
The second eldest brother and his wife. They have two girls.
It was a really fun afternoon, great company, wonderful food and a joy to celebrate this milestone.
Lovely to see the photos and an account of your day. A milestone indeed and before you can blink too, bet it doesn't seem like 50 years to them. Savour the moment. x
