Family bike ride
The chickens are wondering - what is wrong with my people, they are always here...This almost looks like a nap for Belle
Chickens offer more love than we give them credit for.  Eggs, eggs too

Day 0 - The prep

How the heck are we going to do this all together?  Parents working from home - kids with no school?  Or at least nothing from the school - Lots of different sanity suggestions.
Dry erase board to the rescue

50th Anniversary dinner

WE are SO fortunate to be able to celebrate ON THEIR 50th Wedding Anniversary date.  WE truly had a lovely night together.
Ani was our chef and prepped a delicious meal that the kids got to help with.  Riley was the best helper in the kitchen.
Stacie came up Saturday morning and helped us make the room feel extra festive.
Raspberry truffle mouse cake - the true icing on a beautiful night together.
Love that my mom added to the decor with our Hummel that I gifted to her years ago.
Capturing our people
Slaving away at the  charcuterie platter
I think I got them all!

If you give him a task, he will execute!
Capturing some sweet smiles
If you want the commentary that goes with this photo - here you go.

Here is the couple that started it all.
This is how we wanted to celebrate, no prepping at their house, no decisions. Just come and enjoy.  
A little back story, the intention was to surprise them.....  As Corona virus became a bigger concern, we had to ask if they were comfortable....  
They said yes
 and welcomed this weekend all together.  
To that, we are grateful as well.  
Plus it gave them a few extra days to enjoy the anticipation!
Photos and memories to treasure


Pretty beautiful family shot
Our chef for the evening!
We had her stick around to cut the cake and enjoy some.
The pinnacle gift was a book capturing the memories from the capstone cruise.
Looking ahead to what is 'coming' since I am blogging late I can literally see the future.  WE are so very fortunate to have enjoyed this evening and weekend together.
Sunday ended with a nail-biting several rounds of family knockout.
Would love to quarantine all together crew.
These really are the treasured times.
