50th Wedding Anniversary

Doug's parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last weekend and all of the family was in South Dakota for the festivities. As with all family reunions, we took a ton of pictures to commemorate the weekend. Here is a sampling...
Fourteen of us stayed at Doug's parents house which made for instant family bonding as well as bathing together (just for the babies, not the adults). Nathan and James enjoyed it!

James had all sorts of new toys to play with at Papa and Grandma's.


He also had fun playing with his cousins, aunts, and uncles.

We took multiple family pictures outside before the open house.

It all started with 6 kids...

And now there are 19 of us! The whole family - (back row) Lane, Amy, Bethany, Jeanene, Sondra, Keith, Tricia, Nathan, Susan, me, Todd, & Kelsie (front row) Toby, Chuck, Kay, Doug, James, & Wade

And lastly, we had James and Nathan pose on a John Deere tractor with Papa and Grandma. Aren't they cute?!

Re: Your little family.
That's how it starts and then 50 years later you have 14 people staying in your house. :>
