Grandmom & Granddad's 60th Anniversary

Last weekend we traveled to Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary! My mom's whole family came together to celebrate. It was fun to have so many of us in the same place for a weekend.

Grandmom & Granddad

We had the whole family and some of grandmom & granddad's church friends and neighbors at the party. The cake above has their wedding picture on it.

After the party, we all headed to the beach for pictures. I haven't seen the "official" ones, but these are some of what we caught with our cameras.

Kelly, me, and mom (who has lost 41 lbs!)

These are 10 of the 13 "original" grand kids (not married in) with grandmom & granddad.

The weekend went by too quickly. Hopefully someone will get married soon so we can all get back together again!

Later this week I'll try and post pictures from girls weekend in Washington, DC!

Dinner With The Girls

The Bible study I'm doing with the girls from church just wrapped up another series. This time we did "No Other Gods" by Kelly Minter. As part of her "Living Room Series" it included recipes to fix each week. We weren't that together, so we thought at the end we'd make a few of those. At first we thought about doing it potluck style, where we'd each make something out of the book. The last week, though, we decided it would be fun to cook together! So here are some pictures from last night!

Our dinner included:
Bowtie Pasta with Chicken & Sun-dried Tomatoes (feta & olives)
Caprese Salad
"Paula's Tossed Salad" (with a rocking dressing!)
& Brownies

It was fun to cook together and everything turned out super well! I think everyone left with leftovers for lunch today too!
