Gram and PapPap celebrate 40 years...with a little surprise! :)

<>On September 11, 2010 at 5pm, Betty and Bill Fulop arrived at their daughter's house expecting to see Heather, Scott, Rachael, Jeff and Hunter there for an evening of pizza and a movie...they had been told that Will couldn't make it for the family night because he had gotten tickets to the Nascar race and was going there instead...

<>So, they walked in and quickly realized that they had been fooled...They were greeted by their family and a group of close friends from near and far along with a huge sign that read "Happy 40th Anniversary"!  A great time was had by all and their children were told several times throughout the night "You lied to me"...but you know what...some lies are totally worth it and this one proved to be one of them! :) 

<>Everyone enjoyed a pork barbeque dinner with all the fixings and lots of sides and of course, a cake (big surprise there I am sure) :)  We also enjoyed a beautiful slide show that took everyone back to their wedding day and walked through all of the funny hairdos and clothing styles right up until they became grandparents and all of the fun that has gone along with that!  It was so wonderful to have everyone together to commemorate such a special anniversary for two wonderful people whom we love so much!  Happy 40th Anniversary to Gabor and Betty, "Bill and Wendy", "Mom and Dad", "Gram and PapPap"...We are all so blessed to have you in our lives! :)





Can you say "shocked"?? 

 

A little surprised I would say! :)

Heather and Scott

 

PaPa teasing Hunter, telling him he was going to eat his food...too funny!

Everything looked so nice and Heather couldn't have picked out prettier decorations! :)

Scott and Will

Heather Reed, me, PaPa, and Scott - PaPa was being a little silly!

Hunter didn't quite know what to think about all the commotion!

Will, PapPap and Hunter (with a mouth full of food) :)

Watching the slide show...

He was such a good little boy and watched the entire show right up until the end!

Before they were ever married, Bill traced "B & W" to represent "Bill and Wendy" in the dust on a garage window...it is still there today...Since that is such a unique story, I had to incorporate the window into their cake, so here is my attempt!  On the four sides of the cake, I put all of the names that they go by...They loved it! :)

Dottie and Bubba (old neighbors, but still great friends)

Paul and Will - thanks to Paul, the slide show went off without a hitch!

The whole family :)
