Grandpa & Grandma Byers' 50th Anniversary

Back in August, we had a huge party for Grandpa & Grandma Byers' 50th Wedding Anniversary!

The theme was based on their favorite Musical, The Phantom of the Opera.

We had some thoughts from each of their five children, a fashion show of family heirloom dresses, special songs from Grandchildren, and a whole lot of fun!

Without further ado, here are the pictures, with captions for all to enjoy!

Us with our masks! (Mine was borrowed from my
co-worker from last Halloween, Ellie's is a "freebie" and
Robert got his from a costume store.)

She wouldn't look at the camera directly...

 So by this point, you're more than likely wondering, "Where are the pictures of Grandpa & Grandma Byers?" Well..... since I wasn't responsible for more than a couple pictures on my camera, I actually didn't even know what I had until tonight. And it seems there are none on my SD card! Hopefully, someone else got a few pictures. We were all using cameras of various types that night.

Also, we took family pictures a week or so after the party, and I think those pictures should be back soon. I'll post those when and if i get them!

Anyway, this was a super fun night, and we all left exhausted, but I was happy because not only was it a great celebration, but I know exactly what I'm doing for Grandpa & Grandma's Christmas present now!  (Oh yes - it's already that time of year!)

Stay tuned for more  updates on us later this week.
