Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Love Never Fails

We spent a Sunday a few weeks ago, celebrating two of my favorite people in the whole wide world.  Jesse's Grandparents celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary in August.  And after 60 years, they still hold hands.  I don't know what it is about holding hands that gets me... but I hope that after 60 years, Jesse and I are still holding hands. They're amazing.



There was a Mass to celebrate their anniversary.  Here's Jacob with a few of the other great-grandsons carrying up the gifts for communion.




Emma & Kaylee passed out programs.  Such beautiful girls!


Anden was so proud of himself after Mass.  He got to 'hold' some of the flowers.  


Here's Grandpa & Grandma (along with a few of their great-grandkids) outside of the church just after Mass.  Grandpa looks so proud here as he looks out at all the people who love them.  And in my opinion, Grandma's face has JOY written all over it!


Here they are with ALL 17 of their grandchildren.  The grandkids all went together and had 2 photo books made.  One included pictures from their wedding and their children; the other included pictures of all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Even Grandpa teared up a bit.


And here they are with ALL 21 of their Great-Grandchilren.  They range in age from less than one month all the way up to 11 years old. 
Those kids are the luckiest kids out there to have Great-Grandparents as wonderful as these two.


I hope and pray we have many more years to come with them.  They're amazing!
