50 years is alot!

 Labor Day weekend brought a very special celebration for Grandma and Grandpa Schnitzler. This fall marks 50 years of marriage for them! It was fun to spend time with aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.All the kids and grandkids attended church with them, and some participated in the service. Jeremiah and cousin Karl helped with the communion cup baskets. Leave it to them to have made a competition out of it.
Andrew spent the week before the weekend with grandma and grandpa and then a night with grandma and grandpa Todd. He did cow chores, fed hay, played with second cousin Skye, and walked Bailey the dog. He is now a little too brave around the cows!

Jeremiah had a special role during church on Sunday, getting to hold the communion cup basket with Karl. Of course, the two of them turned it in to a competition of who could get more cups! Jeremiah gave us a custom comment when asking about our anniversary. We told him we had been married 10 year and he then calculated that we would be in our 70s IF we make it to our 50th wedding anniversary. We love his little quips!

The whole clan.

Sunday afternoon, the family hosted an open house, greeting more than 200 people. The fun included a vocal duo, which played a few songs for dancing. Three generations were found on the dance floor throughout.

Levi made his way around the celebration, getting snuggles from multiple generations, including Sophia, aunt Sandra, friends, great-aunt Pat and more!
