I recall celebrating my Grandparents 50th, I know I disliked dressing up at the time! These bring back memories. My folks never did celebrate their 50th, they have moved to different states by then.

What a wonderful celebration! So nice you have pictures of them and the girls too. It seems like those parties were similar in smaller communities...I bet they even had those homemade 'mints' that were at every occasion. Great memories for your family.

Such wonderful old family memories! And such sweet dresses the girls were wearing. :-)

Such nice memories and pictures. My parents didn't celebrate their 50th, they said they didn't want anything. Don't know that we should have believed them.

It's so special to have photos of these memorable events.

It's important to celebrate these milestones and to capture them with photos.

I remember being forced to dress up and serve punch for some celebration. Can't even remember what it was for now--LOL! The girls look so pretty! A fiftieth is reason to celebrate, for sure! :)

We had lunch with my cousin and his wife. We had seen them a couple of years ago at his parents 65 wedding anniversary. He told me that they are now in assisted living as neither one could take care of the other. The anniversaries end up being reunions for some families.

It often seems like marriages don't last now days that people give up and divorce for whatever reason

Great pictures of your in-laws 50th. The photo of them with your girls is a treasure.
