It is still hard to believe that my parents both have now turned 60. WOW! We had a big celebration for them last Saturday (May 21st) and invited friends and family. It was so nice to see everyone.Being part of a big family definitely makes putting on a party like this a lot easier. There was 5 of us girls to prepare the food, decorate the hall and make the day special. Make that 6, my mom helped us with the baking, she made 3 tortes and the birthday cake.
I took on a huge project of putting together a slideshow with pictures of my parents, mostly of their married life. They have definitely done a lot in the 40 years that they have been married. Starting out in Calgary then moving to Wetaskiwin in the mid-70's. There were many pictures of different vacations that they went on and lots of pictures of us kids. It really made me realize again how important pictures are to preserve our memories.
We had a great day with friends and family and lots of food of course!! Thank you to everyone that came out and made the day special.
Looking through all the pictures reminded me again of all that my parents did and still do for me. Thank you mom and dad for all the wonderful memories you gave me as a kid, for everything you did for me and everything you still do for us.

How very sweet to honor your mom and dad. What a blessing you are to them and I know they are to you. I love slideshow although I have only made them in times of death, this really made me think I need to make them in happy times also :)
