My in-laws have celebrated their 60th anniversary. We live near each other so we planned to join them that Sunday for church. P shared that with our kids (as a point of info) and they both wanted to come as well. We decided to keep that part a surprise.
MIL & I talked the week before and she asked if we could join them. I said we were already planning to be there and that dinner that day would be at our house. She was thrilled!
They were so happy to have us there. Grandma exclaimed to K that we wouldn’t tell her the kids were coming. We tried for a surprise but I’m sure she assumed this.
After the service, their church has a fellowship time with snacks but my in-laws provided cake, cider, nuts for their celebration. Most of the congregation stayed for nearly an hour.
K got to see her life-long friend that has also moved away. They haven’t seen each other in YEARS but grew up together at church, 4-H, each other’s houses, etc as they are only 6 weeks apart and we are friends with her parents. Great bit of visiting!
The grands enjoyed a few more hours to visit with the kids around the dinner table.
and sew on...
