Grandma and Grandpa Detweiler Celebrate 50 Years

Myron's parents, John and Ruth, had a celebration this weekend for their 50th anniversary. It was a great day of memories and family and good food! Here are some pictures from the big day:


Grandma Ruth (in the red dress) is one of 12 in her family and all of her living siblings were able to make it to celebrate with her!


Myron's cousin Heidi and her newest little one, Jenna (who was born in the van parked outside the locked birthing center!)

Myron's oldest brother Conrad and three of his five, Hannah, Jesse, and Rachel


Grandpa John's brother Rudy and his wife Anne.

Myron's cousins and aunts, enjoying pictures and coffee.

Singing


Aunts, uncles and cousins (I was not very good about keeping them all straight so I'm going to refrain from trying to name them since I'll probably get the names wrong!)


Pretty, yummy cake

Betsy was nice enough to share Elmo with this cute little girl.

Grandpa John and Grandma Ruth



Beautiful little Angela, Betsy's second cousin (or something like that!)

Grandpa John chatting

This is the family of Myron's cousin. They are Amish and the children speak Pennsylvania Dutch only. Now I realize why that little girl in the pink kept talking to me and I couldn't understand her!





Betsy is ready to take off her shoes after only 5 minutes!
Happy Anniversary, Grandma and Grandpa!!
