25 Years is a LONG time!


Uncle Randy and Aunt Gail are celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss this month. Since Nick and I celebrated our second anniversary this week, we have a new respect for the compromising involved in getting to that 25th mark.

While everyone was home over Thanksgiving, the Watson boys, the Rankin girls, Gail and Randy's sisters and brothers, and everyone's families pitched in and threw them a surprise party to celebrate the event.
Here are a few pix from the big night.


Photos from their wedding day.


Gail was very surprised...however, I'm not sure we fooled Randy...his face didn't register an ounce of surprise when walking in the door!


Karen and Chris are going to have problems with this one! Ella was dancing by herself WAY too early in the night!


Mom and Aunt Stacy had been baking and freezing cupcakes for weeks beforehand.


The members of HURL (Husbands Under Rankin Law) eagerly and enthusiastically awaiting their next orders.

What a wonderful evening that was!!
Considering the number of people
there,it is amazing that Gail and Randy hadn't picked up on it some-
where along the line!
All of you are to be congratulated!
But then you pulled one on me for my birthday, and I still can't tell
about it without getting somewhat
choked up and teary-eyed.You gals
are GOOD!!!

Nice pictures, Kelly!!! I'm so glad you had your camera there. The one of Stacy and Brittany is really good, I think! It was a fun night and was especially nice getting to see everyone!!

Thank you sooo much. Randy and I were both so surprised! How you all pulled it off without me guessing something was up is beyond me. Karen, I was wondering why you were never answering my phone calls!! It was a great night and we can't thank all of you enough for all the time and effort you put into it.

We love all of you so much!!

Kelly,
These are the first pictures I've seen. If you have anymore could you please get them to me somehow, maybe on a disc?

Thank you for posting them

Gail,

I have a whole bunch. I'll burn them to a disk and send them out to you. Not all of them are very good though!
