Mom & Dad's 40th

Hard to believe my parents are already celebrating 40 years of marriage. To celebrate them and the occasion, we had a get together of family & friends at my Gramma & Grampa Barthel's. It as a little chillier than anticipated so we had to congregate a little more in the garage than the backyard, but still a great time. Thanks to all the family that traveled to come help celebrate...it wouldn't of been the same without you. And thanks to my parents for being such great role models!!
