A Surprise In Fredonia

My Aunt Carla and Uncle Tony recently celebrated their 40th anniversary.  Their kids (my cousins) decided to have a surprise celebration party the weekend of December 17th.  Carla and Tony were very surprised.

Carla is my mom's youngest sister.  Much of her side (my cousins, aunts/uncles, and grandma) were there.

Grandma is 90.  Although her mind is failing, her body is doing great.  She was out on the dance floor showing she still has the moves.

The kids had a great time hanging out with and dancing with cousins that they hadn't seen in awhile.

The only first cousins of mine who weren't there were my brother, Marc, and Patrick.  People came from Florida, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, and Arizona.  It sure was a great time. Below, our whole family crew that were there.

Thanks to Nathan, Hannah, and Allison (my cousins, Tony and Carla's three children) for bringing us all together.

Tony and Carla have always been close to me, especially Tony.  While in prison, he was a faithful letter writer to me.  Their love for God is a great example to this family.

Love you Grandma and love you Mom.
