Alvie and Gail's 50th wedding anniversary!

Alvie and Gail celebrated 50 years of marriage this December 1st. We had a big celebration for them in Arlington. It was so nice getting to see all of our extended family that we haven't seen in several years since moving to SF. The cousins really loved getting to hang out. As a gift, we had a photographer take pictures of the family before the party. They turned out really well.

It was a great night! Here are just a few pics Ella snapped with my camera.

The happy couple 50 years ago...

That weekend also happened to be the Big 12 championship game TCU vs. Oklahoma. Lyle and the kids, along with Landry's family and Alvie got to go to the big game. Although it was a disappointing loss for TCU the kids still had fun seeing the game.

While they were at the game, Annabeth and Brody got to have some fun of their own at a little Christmas carnival in Mims' neighborhood. It was so cute. We rode a train, saw Santa, rode some ponies, and played in snow...really really wet snow! It was such a great weekend! Such a nice way to celebrate such a huge accomplishment! 50 years! Congrats Mims and Pa!
