I created an album for my parent's 40th anniversary and asked for letters, pics and stories - what fun to read and even more fun for them to bring back memories.

I was the one who did the video and pictures for my parents 50th but since my dad hated big fusses and did not want a big party they knew about everything. I added an historical time line along with a family time line. So fun.
