61

My parents turned 61 this year.  Its still crazy to me that they are getting so old!  When I look at them I don't view them like that because they don't act like it.  Shoot... my dad was outside sledding on his belly face first the other day.  Their birthdays are three days apart (I think that's kinda cute) so we did a joint celebration.  Since my sister is there we aren't there overnight that often, because it's a bit of a logistical thing to fit two whole families upstairs... but we made it work.  It was nice.  The kids got a chance to play with Grandma and Don while the cousins were at school and I got to hang out with my sister after the kids went to bed.  :)  We did normal pizza and beer and cake of course!  My Dad loves cake!  I made dirt for the cousins but forgot it, but we brought donuts, so I think all was forgiven.  It was a nice time had by all, and I'm sure that Mom and Dad enjoyed spending their birthdays with their grandchildren.
