Happy 65th Birthday Grandpa!!

On June 5, my dad and his twin brother, Ron, celebrated their 65th birthday. My aunt and uncle, Dad and Ron's siblings, hosted a birthday party in the twin's honor.
You are probably wondering why in the world these 65 year old men are wearing these silly hats. BTW, my dad is on the left and Ron is on the right.
The reason is this picture which was taken in Glendive, Montana when the twins were 2. So, they had matching hats and shirts and my aunt Colleen made cherry chip cakes just like grandma used to.
They were good sports and reenacted the event.
The grandkids helped blow out the candles!
The siblings: David, Don, Ron and Kathy. My uncle George couldn't make it and my uncle Jim passed away 10 years ago.
We had such a fun time. I'm so glad my aunt and uncle pulled this together so we could help celebrate. It was great seeing aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids.

So sad that we missed it. As always when my uncles get together, it looked like a blast!
