2017 Year in Review Part 7 = It's a 25th Wedding Anniversary Party

November 4, 2017

I and Jess are at our 25th Wedding Anniversary Party in Lawrence, KS thanks to the encouragement of Bruce and Debbie Liddel.

The party was held at their church, The West Side Presbyterian Church. Our actual anniversary is the 9th of November so we celebrated a bit early. At our open house 25 years ago our colors were blue and burgundy much like the colors on our anniversary cake. They grey Jess and I are wearing is to represent silver because 25th is the silver anniversary.

 I am glad to see Krista and Mary/

 It was wonderful seeing Bruce and Michelle Hayes. I am thrilled that they came.

 I was happy to greet Mark and Linda Randel. I am so glad they came.

 Jess made this lovely anniversary cake. It was a cherry chocolate flavor and very delicious. Great Job Jess 🤘

Caught with cake on our faces.

Here we were cutting our cake. This is what we looked like before the caked faces 🤣

Here is how we got cake on our faces.

 It was so sweet that Michelle and Bruce brought us these beautiful flowers. They also gave us an Amazon gift card.

 I love family. I am glad each of these wonderful people came to our party.

We had a very good turnout to our party. I think all who came had fun. Jess and I sure did. Bruce Liddel took many of these pictures. A big thank you to him. Thank you also to everyone who came. A huge thank you to Jess for being a super partner in crime for 25 years. He also did a photo music video, prepared much of the food we had = baked beans, green bean casserole, meat/cheese tray, veggie tray and the beautiful wedding cake.
