family fun

Tonight we celebrated Josh’s grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. Walt and Dolores are such amazing and generous souls. I am blessed to call them my family. Walt is a hoot to be around and will keep you laughing all night (that is until he passes out asleep on the sofa around 8pm). I thought I would share a few photos of them from tonight and one of the "family portraits" we used this opportunity to capture.

60th_2

I used the Holly McCaig "half sepia" wash on these first two… I love how it gives it an aged look. All of the photo frames I used are by Nancy Comelab. I am still having fun learning how to use my new tools. :)

Candles

We took a ton of "portrait style" family photos on the front lawn, but this one was supposed to be the goofy one. I love how only half of the family is making silly faces….

Ducketts

I think I am the palest member of the Duckett family. Can you see my white feet over there on the right side? My goodness I had no idea I was that pale! And in my defense… we had no idea we would be taking family portraits or I would not be wearing a "wife beater" with my black bra straps hanging out! I also would most certainly not be showing any of my white legs (or ankles!). Any who…. the Duckett’s are a lot of fun. I am proud to be a member of this goofy family. Happy anniversary Walt and Dolores!

60 years! That’s wonderful. They are a lovely couple and you have a great looking family. White feet, black brastraps and all!

The pics look great and Oh MY GOSH! 60 years!! Can’t even imagine!! I LOVE the frames you did around the pics…and remember this, (what my ageless grams told me) live with the “white” look now but you’ll be young looking later!! :)

I would have never noticed your white ankles or the bra strap if you hadn’t pointed it out. Just looks like a happy family gathering. I hear ya about being pale. Every year when I go from jeans to shorts, I think I’m going to blind everyone with my white legs. And they never do darken up. I’ve even used the spray on tan stuff, with some disasterous results :(

I love the affect you put on those pictures, very soft and natural looking!!

Looks like you had a great time – it’s wonderful that your in-laws are such a supportive group and so much fun. I love my in-laws too.
