As I mentioned on Saturday, this is a year of milestones for my parents. They both turn 60 this year (remember Mom’s 60th?)and next month is their 35th wedding anniversary.
Here are a few photos from their party this weekend – which happened to be on the most beautiful September day!
They opened presents – which by the time you’re 60, let’s face it, presents usually come in paper form – and Thomas brought Dad gourd after gourd. “It’s your BIRTHDAY Grandpa!”
For Dad’s birthday gift, a bunch of us pooled together the cash to buy new sails for his sailboat! He told me this weekend that his current sails are older than me. Enough said.
These photos were taken on Labor Day, when Josh & I went out for an afternoon sail with my parents in Muskegon. Dad didn’t know then but I was giving those old sails the stink eye – they’ve overstayed their welcome I guess.
Today Dad is 60. Happy Happy Birthday, Dad! We sure do love you.
Inspire; to breathe 
didn’t realize baby Jane has teeth! Yeah – you go girl!
Ahh! So funny – I don’t think she does yet! How weird though, that it looks like she’s got little teeth in the photo. Tricky!
Happy, happy! Thanks for sharing fun pictures of what looks like a great party.
Those too cute kids steal the day : )
Thanks for your part in it too! 🙂
Yeah, they do don’t they? I can’t look at the picture of Jane without giggling. She’s a cutie. 🙂
I love long, wonderful marriages! What a fun year. And the cake licking + wide-eye baby pics just totally made my day. Nieces & nephews are great!
I totally agree, Cindy! 🙂 They’re pretty much my favorite. 🙂
And we’ve got a nephew on the way any day now too!
Looks like a fun partay – love that bouquet! And popcorn: mmmmmmm. 🙂
Thanks, Jocelyn! Yeah, I mean you just can’t go wrong with a big bowl of popcorn. It’s pretty much impossible.
P.S. The cake had polka dots on it. Just sayin’. 🙂
yes, I forgot to mention the cake (was distracted by the cute kiddie) but the pd’s were duly noted 🙂
Thanks so much for the pictures, Suzanne, and for your way with words once again! So sorry I had another commitment and couldn’t be there. I thought about all of you–the weather was SO beautiful! What a wonderful way to celebrate all of those special milestones! New sails–great gift!! And one that you get to enjoy too. 🙂
Hi Pat! Thanks for your sweet comment! It was a fun party. 🙂 You can come to the next one, how’s that?

Thanks, Turid! It was a good time. And a special celebration 🙂
