What a fun time! I loved browsing through all the pictures...It cracks me up to see Alex's mannerisms in his dad.... Amazing how genetics and heredity works ;). Gary's mom and dad are celebrating 60 years this year and Dad will be 80 thanks for the great ideas... We have all been wondering what would be good. You always have such wonderful family memory ideas! And your Dad does look great for 80!!! I can't believe he was up on that ladder...Go GG VAR! Your mother is BEAUTIFUL! What a great family!
