50th Anniversary Cake (Homemade)


I know, I must be boring you guys with all these Anniversary pictures, but I wanted to show you all the Cake Bear Jr’s Wife Bethany made for us.
She’s been making a lot of cakes over the last few years, and is really getting good at it.
This one was a lot easier than the exciting ones she makes for Kid’s Birthdays.

I threw in some other pictures for you guys to chuckle at, so have fun.
I had already showed you all our original Wedding picture from December 27, 1968, so this time it's just pics of all of us Old Coots. Everybody there was over 50, except Bear Jr & his Wife.

Bear Jr invited us & all of our surviving siblings & their spouses, without Kids or Grandkids.
We had a Great time, mostly sitting around the big Dining room table shooting the Bull, and they all had to try to guess some Trivia about us. (Questions similar to the questions they ask in “The Newlyweds” Game Show, like "How did you 2 meet?")

My older Sister came up from NC with her husband of 52 years, and my older Brother was there with his wife of 49 years. My 58 year old Kid Sister was there with her husband of about 15 years.
Mrs Bear’s Widowed older Sister was there, and her younger Brother and his wife of about 45 years.

WE had Smoked Beef Tenderloin from Bear Jr’s Big Green Egg, and Lobster Claws, but Mrs Bear was in charge of the camera, and didn’t get any Food Pics, except the Cake. All I got was a Pic of one of the Beef Sammies I had for a few days, with the leftovers that followed me home. I think I had about 8 of them over the next few days.


Hope you all enjoy the Pics of the “Old Folks”, and don't get too bored.

Bethany made these little boxes, and Mrs Bear made Cookies & Candies to put in them as Party Favors for All Guests to take home:

Good lookin food and family Bear. Theres something to be said about the character of your family with all the marriages lasting as long as they have. You dont see that to often these days. Congrats all the way around buddy
 
Great Pics my friend A milestone for sure Congrats

Gary
 
congrats on the Anniversary, great looking cake, well done
 
No need to apologize for showing off. You only get to celebrate the 50th anniversary once (usually, but with modern medicine who knows??). Seeing you and Mrs. Bear in the picture it seems you married up.
 
Big congrats on 50yrs to You and Mrs Bear, you're a fine looking couple. My parents have their 50 in August this year. I like the layout of Jr's house especially the fireplace.
 
Congrats Bear on a big mile stone. 50 years! That is a great looking extended family! Cake is not bad either! Best wishes for many more happy years.

Great pictures and I'm glad you all got to meet up and get some good ole jawing in! I never get bored with your pictures Mr Bear!
 
That cake is a beauty John! Your DIL is very talented. I know a lady here in my small town who makes a pretty good living making and decorating cakes. Her success has come mostly from word of mouth...the first thing most folks in town think to do for any celebration is to call Miss Marilyn for a custom-decorated cake.

I am so impressed with the picture of you and your bride. With all the ups and downs and replacement parts, You both look like the picture was taken 10 years ago. You keep trying to act like old folks, no body here is gonna buy that line anymore. Certainly a handsome couple.

Congratualtions my friend.
