Dad Turns 60 part 1
My dad turned 60 this month. My sisters planned for us all getting together at our house to surprise him and spend the weekend together. It was great! The boys got bb guns for Christmas. (As you can see, my dad and Stuart, my brother in law, are wondering if that was such a good idea.) The boys are so excited and Ethan has memorized the safety manual already. He is chomping at the bit to go and try it out. My sister Summer is with the boys in the picture above.
