Grandma is 80!!!!!

 Grandma Garthe turned 80 on January 22nd. Since the weekend before had a Monday holiday John and his siblings planned a party for her. The college kids and Kenna, Brittanie, and Nick flew in for the weekend. We had a blast playing games and hanging out. 

The actual party was on Saturday night. Lora, George, Myrna, & Molly came from Orange County, and 4 of Grandma's nieces came from Utah, Las Vegas, and Cerritos area. (Vicki, Lorie, Kelly, & Debbie) We all had a great time eating and playing BUNCO. I think everyone had a blast!!!

On Monday before everyone headed home we all got to say Hello to Trent (Elder Garthe) who is serving in Peru. All the cousins even took a picture together.

Newport Temple as a WHOLE Family!

Image
 It feels like we have been waiting for this day F-O-R-E-V-E-R.  Finally all 7 of us got to be in the temple together.  We made sure to schedule Jillian's temple recommend interview early enough for her to get her temple recommend on January 1st. And we scheduled an appointment at the Newport Temple for January 2nd (before the college kids went back to Idaho) It was a Glorious Day!!! It's hard to go to the Newport Beach temple and not make a trip to see the ocean. It brings peace to my soul. Luckily were we a bit early for our temple appointment so we were able to see the ocean and take a quick photo.  It was a very special night being in The House of the Lord with my eternal family.

Happy New Year!!!! 2025

 Wow! How did we get to 2-0-2-5.  We started our New Year's Eve celebration with some of our favorite people. The Burkes, the Gibson's, Grandma Garthe, and the Laurel and West Lakey. We had a great time playing several games.  At Midnight we rang in the New Year with some poppers and noise makers. (We totally forgot about the Sparkling Cider. ooops!)
