80th birthday, 60th anniversary

What a busy and fun weekend we had!
We've been planning for the past several months to surprise Mema & Papa with a party to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary (that is actually in June) and Papa's 80th birthday (next week).


hanging out at Mema & Papa's on Friday night. Had to see my little man as soon as we got there
If you know my dad at all, you know that he has quite the love for Diet Mountain Dew! I spotted this a few weeks ago and knew he would love this!

All smiles on Saturday morning!

Fulton was able to talk Pops into sharing his Mtn Dew with him.

Precious boy!


Surprise!!!
Papa says that 5 different people told him about the party. Not sure if we believe him or not. He knew something was going on, but wasn't quite sure what.

Aren't they cute?

this little fella was so good all day...of course he had plenty of folks "oohing" and "ahhing" over him...who can blame them, right?

Great weekend with family and friends! So thankful for everyone that came to celebrate with my grandparents.

Good post!! These are great pics. You beat me on this one :) Fulton loved seeing his Aunt Keri all weekend!

I could not decide if Fulton looked more like Kristen or Matt. But in the picture where he is smiling I think he looks like you.

Well that is a first for anyone to say he looks like me, but I will take it!!
It's still hard for me to decide who he looks like. I found a picture of Kristen around the age of 2 and Fulton really favors her.
