Long Lost Laura

Hi guys....so mom was bugging me to post all the stuff from Thanksgiving. Life in Raleigh has just been really busy with work, school, wedding photos, Christmas sessions, and the thought of a social life. Dave and I are driving up to Virginia to visit his grandmother in Alexandria, hang out with Sara, and attend a Cake concert on Sunday night so I am really excited to get out of town for the weekend. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Love you.

Love,
Laura

Those are great photos of the birthday, Frank, and Laura. How did Laura like Boston? Frank's suit is fabulous of course and Mr Williams is looking really good. Glad to see that.

Tom and Frank cut the cake, Grandaddy is opening a card and the flowers are the ones that Laura sent. Happy 84th birthday!

Here is Frank in his new suit at the Augusta graduation and the director of Ft. Stewart Youth Challenge, Bob Hughes.

Here is Laura in Boston.
