This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to Indiana where I grew up to celebrate my Grandpa & Grandma Beachy's (my dad's parents) 65th Wedding Anniversary. I feel so blessed to have both grandparents on both sides still living and to be able to celebrate this milestone with them, was an incredible opportunity. Everyone in the family (except Joe & Donneta, my sister) were able to attend and there were 41 of us there. We first had lunch with just the immediate family and then as a surprise, some of Grandpa and Grandma's siblings came for snacks and desserts. For those of you who don't know, my family heritage is Mennonite, and most of Grandpa and Grandma's siblings are Amish. For anyone who doesn't know what either one is, google it :) Here are some pictures of the party...
