33 Years

This year my parents celebrated 33 years. It's a long time and although every year is significant I wanted to do something special for their gift. I found this idea online and if I could remember from where, I would link it. But alas, that was months ago and I do good to remember what happened yesterday. I put together a photo album of a comparison of photos from when we were young to photos of us now. I grabbed some old photos of us and then when both brothers were in town for Thanksgiving, we re-enacted them.
Once we had our re-enactments finished, and edited by my brother, I took those, and the originals to Walgreen's where I scanned and uploaded all the pictures and placed them into a leather bound album. Although uploading and arranging at Walgreen's took forever, it was a pretty seamless process. The whole thing, that included 20 pictures, was put onto a nice album, and ready in an hour. Yay Walgreen's Photo!
Here are the before and after shots that my dad took and put side by side. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and unique idea for their parents, grandparents, etc. We had so much fun making this, and my parent's reaction was priceless. That video is also included.
