Here's to 120 years...

Grandma Helen and Grandpa George celebrated 30 years of marital bliss with a party, of course.  A gathering to celebrate love with family and friends.  They graciously helped us to come down to Florida and we are more than thankful and happy they did.

We spent the week relaxing at their house, visiting with family, enjoying the sunshine and warm weather and had a grand ol' time at their party, of course.  The kids loved playing with their cousins, aunts/uncles, and ALL of their grandparents.  

Miles found comfort at the buffet table and stuffed his face with at least a pound of watermelon. He also kept himself occupied with the toothpicks and a cube of cheese.  We like to call it "edible art."
P.S.  Aunt Virginia catered the whole party and did a wonderful job with decor and food.
The cousins on the dance floor.   They rocked it all night long.    I I think Elliot suggested "Beat It" at least 10 times.

A movie screen was the back-drop to the dance floor where rotating pictures of the last 30 years of George and Helen lives together were displayed.  It was really neat to see pictures of Xander when he was Elliot's age and pictures of his teenage years.  Hmmm...

Here is to the love these two people share with each other and with everyone around them.  They are so special to us and we love them more than words can say.   
Here's to 120 years (as we would say in my family.)
