40th Anniversary surprise

Ben's Mom and Dad have been married for 40 years!  We threw them a surprise anniversary party and family reunion.  They had no idea that we had been planning this for over a year and they would not stop calling to see if their kids could be in town this weekend.  We had to lie and come up with things we had going on, so we could not be there.  I redid their wedding cake and they loved it!
All but one of the kids were there, so we did some family pictures.  From the left is Monte, Misty, Ben, Craig, Illona, Jared, Tara and Heather.  Ben's sister Tonya couldn't make it, but she would be between Misty and Ben.
Each family choose a color so we could do individual family pictures as well.  This is Ben's older brother Monte and his wife Kim with their five kids Britton, Chandler, Kaitlyn, Sydney and Connor.
This is Ben's older sister Misty and her husband Tom with their five kids Alex, Brooke, Christopher, Timothy and Jacob.
Here is our cute family!
This is Ben's younger brother Jared and his wife Noel with their three girls Ruth, Joyce and Aubrey.
This is Ben's younger sister Tara with her husband Nat and their  two kids Jeremiah and Raiah.  She is also very pregnant with their third and they don't know what they are having.
This is Ben's youngest sister Heather who is not married yet.  We had such a fun weekend and it was great visiting with family we don't see that often.  Love you guys!
