Burger 60th Anniversary

This past weekend was one of great celebrating. We were able to gather with the Burger family to commemorate 60 years of marriage for Ryan's grandparents. Saturday night we enjoyed dinner in a private room at Misty's Steakhouse in Lincoln. It was a fun evening spent catching up and laughing with family.

We then made a somewhat last minute decision to join the family on Sunday morning for church at First Trinity in DeWitt and brunch afterward at the Burger family farm. I am glad we were able to spend this additional time with family on this momentous occasion.

As a side note, Kylie did great through church. We rarely make it through an entire service, but this marked the second successful week in a row, including the hour and a half Easter service the previous Sunday.

We spent time that afternoon exploring the farm and enjoying some fresh air. 

While I don't love this picture of me, I do enjoy the background

Meanwhile, three generations of Burger men could be found taking their Sunday afternoon nap

What a special weekend it was celebrating the vows this couple made on April 5, 1953. Thank you for being an example to us of true commitment, steadfast faith, and unconditional love.

Random bonus video: When we got home Sunday afternoon Kylie did this over and over and over again. I guess she just wanted to show off her flexibility and strong abs!
