Mom & Dad anniversary gift (No parents allowed!)

Since Thanksgiving, I've been trying to brainstorm a really awesome anniversary gift for mom and dad. It's pretty cool that they're inviting us along for their celebration, so I wanted the gift to be really special! Here are my ideas: 1. A picture calendar--one of my coworkers just had calendars made for her family using old family photos that she scanned. You can then input important dates like birthdays and anniversaries and arrange the photos as you like--even repair them if needed! You can make it an 18 month calendar, so we could do August 08 through till the following December 09. 2. Depending on how I do collecting old photos (which I will do this coming Christmas, somehow!), I might try to put together a powerpoint slideshow. This was my original idea, but I admit I was a little worried about how long it might take me (you know how the bigger a project you take on, the less likely you are to finish it?) I really wanted to add in sound clips by recording a little snippet from everyone, including the grandkids. I might still try to do this--I figure all I need to get is a mic right? And then hook it up to one of the 5 or 6 laptops we have at the house over the holidays? I thought we could record a favorite memory, story, joke, something learned...whatever. I thought that I could try to make arrangements to show the slideshow somewhere....maybe a lobby somewhere...I'd have to worry about a projector and screen, but I bet knowing Disney they might be able to help out. I figure I could start with the calendar and see how ambitious I feel after that. What do y'all think?
