Oma & Opa's Anniversary Dinner

Last weekend we celebrated my Oma & Opa's 62nd wedding anniversary at Anthony's in Des Moines. 62 years, what a feat, especially for 2 immigrants from Holland & Indonesia who survived WWII, Japanese Prison camps, a long rocky boat ride to the US, making their way across the United States and raising 2 Dutch kids! :) Thank you to Oma and Opa for being the rock that holds the Hermans family together, we love you!

2 Opas! Opa and Grote Opa.
The whole Hermans clan.

Avery working it with Nana and Grote Oma.

My favorite women.

Avery loves her Aunty Nan.

Avery is so sweet, she's gotten into giving kisses. In this case, she let her bear from Oma take the mustache kiss from Opa.

Great Aunty Myra.

The Hermans sisters. Did we really come from the same parents? :)

On Saturday Andy, Avery and I spent the day in Kent helping Nana & Opa fix their barn. It was quite a project. I wish we had gotten some pictures, we were dirty and styling and Mommy got down with some hard-core construction. (Power tools are just for boys!) A very Hermans weekend, and achy bones after-wards!
