Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary!

Well, again I have fallen behind and have LOTS to blog about. Starting with a wonderful evening that took place last Friday, October 24th at my in law's home in Canyon Lake. Bea organized a wonderful dinner for 18 people in celebration of Joe and Henny's 60th wedding anniversary. The best part was the surprise that Johanna had flown in from Australia the day before on a VERY last minute trip (thank you Clive!).

 


Joe and Henny spent the evening with all 5 of their children and all 7 of their grandchildren. The only thing missing was their 3 beautiful great-grandchildren, who had not made the long journey from Australia with their Mom.

 


It was a beautiful evening, with lots of stories and laughter, awesome food (thank you Johanna) and incredible wine. The Warren's love to be together as a family, and Henny seemed to be feeling the love around her as she was in great spirits and even sang when the family was singing a Dutch "Happy Birthday" song to Pete and Rob. She sang every word!

 


We feel so blessed to celebrate this day together, and for myself it is in the forefront of my mind wondering how many more special days we will get to celebrate all together. Just makes each one that much more of a treasure.

 


Happy 60th Anniversary, Joe and Henny. You show us what an amazing marriage should look like, and you inspire us all. I love you!
