Anthony's First Birthday Party in Hot Springs, Arkansas

Lots and Lots of pictures to share with everyone!

We had the best weekend. The house we rented worked great for everyone. It had plenty of room, it was way back off the main road but once you got to the house it was perfect. It was close to a nice channel that you could tube, wakeboard, kneeboard, etc. We had a total of 31 family members!! WOW... Anthony you must be pretty special.

Tony and I want to thank everyone for coming out for the weekend. It really meant alot to us to get everyone together for the weekend!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Missed those that were not able to make it...maybe next year...already thinking towards next year. This could be an annual reunion!

Enjoy the pictures.....also have lots of video to add!!!
