70 beautiful years

The weekend before Valentine's Day, the Christensen family celebrated something very special...The 70th anniversary of my grandparents Ray and Rhoda Christensen. 70 years! These two people are the most amazing example of love, patience, and generosity you will ever meet. The weekend was so much fun, starting with a Cousin's Night Out in Grand Island. Happy hour at the martini bar and then drinks and dancing at the hotel bar. On Saturday we had lots of family time, including taking Willa swimming. That girl is turning into quite the little fish! We also presented Grandma and Grandpa with a gift called a Voice Quilt which was very cool. It is a box that plays a recording of all of us wishing them well or sharing a story and some of their favorite songs. Sunday was the big reception and dance, hundreds of people came to be a part of the wonderful occasion. You can read more about Grandma and Grandpa in The Independent, as they were featured on Valentine's Day!
