How awesome is that? I can't believe what a cool family we have! Looks like Uncle Bob loved it. How fun to have everyone there. Of course you are all beautiful. It will definitely be fun when you come out here!

You heard about our intentions to do a family pic this summer...we'll see if we're as happy as you guys are! :))

I don't know if you remember the Monson family. They are our cousins on my dad's side. Their son was in from Boston this week so we went to Brick Oven with them. The first thing they said after we sat down were their memories of John singing at the pasta bar! Also of Chad serving and managing! They said that every time they look around, they feel like they should see one of the Hales! lol Good times! I bet you have VERY fond memories of that too! :))
