60th Anniversary Party

Susan and I hosted a party for Mom and Dad this weekend to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary. The celebration was held at our home on a picture perfect Saturday afternoon.
Mom and Dad were married on September 7, 1951 in Spokane.

This was the first time Bruce and Marie had been to our new home and the first family photo taken since 2001.

For lunch we served salmon deviled eggs, shredded chicken, meatballs, a seafood pasta salad made by Marie, pea salad, a variety of cheeses, veggies, chips and dip, rolls, and droid mix.

Sally and Randy drove over from eastern Washington (as did Claudette & Carol, Marge & Larry and Bill & Beverly to celebrate the day with Mom and Dad.

Dessert consisted of six flavors of cupcakes made by the Truly Scrumptious Cupcakery in Yakima. We also served mints, and personallized M&M's. The M&M's read either Ken, Dolores, Happy 60th or Party!

Each cupcake held an image representing something that Mom and Dad have enjoyed doing during their years together.

Mom and Dad went to high school in Deer Park, WA with Bill and Beverly.

Mom and Dad enjoyed the party as did everyone who came - at least that is what they told us.
