Shawn's parents, Gilbert & Judy Burnham, celebrated 40 years of marriage at a surprise anniversary party thrown for them by their children, Katie, Shawn, Tracy, and Brian. The event was held at the Fireman's Hall in Mobile, Alabama. Gilbert & Judy were told by family and friends that the event would be a surprise birthday party for Shawn & Brian, so they were surprised to find that the party was actually for them. About 50 family and friends attended, including family from Indiana. During the party, a slide show was played that looked back on the years from childhood to marriage to building a family. There was a wedding-style cake that they cut together, and lots of good food. At the end, they were presented with gifts, including a picture quilt from their children.
