A Grand Occasion!

This is my cute Grandma. She turns 90 on December 4th. We had a family celebration early since a lot of people were in town. My Grandma looks essentially the same since I've known her as Grandma! She is adorable and funny and kind and sweet. She always smiles and laughs this cute, lilting laugh that is SO her. These are 4 of her 6 children...and they all adore her. Her name is Ina. She lost my Grandpa, Max, when I was 5 years old (1975) and soldiered on, missing him terribly. She retired from work at BYU and then proceeded to serve 5 missions! In fact, during one of her missions I was serving at the exact same time! (She was in New Zealand and I was at Temple Square.) It was fun to write each other as missionaries.

A lot of my cousins and their kids were able to make it to Grandma's party. Still not everyone was there, so when you look at these pictures just realize they aren't complete! She has a large posterity, loyal, loving Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren that love her deeply and hope she sticks around for a long long long long long time!

This is my family. My littlest sister, Shalee and her family, had gone already.

This is a lot of the Grandchildren, not all, though! The oldest Grand-daughter
and Grand-Son are sitting next to my Grandma. Ahem...yes, I'm the second oldest girl in that picture.
My brother Bob is the one with the long beard, my sister, Estee, is one away from my brother. And
again, Shalee is missing :( NOPE...my cousin alerted me to the fact that Shalee IS in this pic! She is sitting
4 people to the left of me! Hi Shay! Sorry I didn't see you!

Here is the small handful of great-grandchildren. When my sister has her baby
I think the total will be up to 76! You should have seen us trying to get this photo! CRAZY!

I LOVE this picture! I love that Grandma of mine!
