Grandma Lorrie just turned 80. Grandpa and all his girls threw a party for her at their house in Orem. It was great to visit with everyone and get reacquainted. Aunt Carla came from Idaho and brought Cameron and Connie's kids with her. They have gotten so big. And aunt Sharon and her family came up from Mesa. We even got to see Uncle Kelly, who I haven't seen in about 12 years. He breeds chihuahuas and brought all his puppies with him in his camper. Carmen had a really cool idea with the cake. All the kids (Carmen, Mom, Carla, Sharon) brought a cake with them, any flavor they wanted. When they got to the party, they stacked the layers of cake and frosted it. It thought it was a cool way to get everyone involved. Jac and Mel were there also and their kids had a blast meeting and playing with Dante, Whitman, and Emerson (Cameron and Connie's kids). I was busy keeping Luke out of trouble, as always. But it was great to get together and celebrate.
The day of the party also happened to be Grandpa and Grandma Lorrie's 20th wedding anniversary. He had made for her a necklace with two hearts hanging on it. One heart had all the birth stones of Carmen and her kids on it. The other heart had mom's, Carla's, Sharon's, and Kelly's birth stones. She loved it. Grandpa is a pretty suave guy.
Grandma Lorrie is pretty special to me. Even though she's not my real Grandma, I've never felt that she loved us any less than her real grandchildren. I know quite a few people who don't have that kind of relationship with thier step-grandmas.
Happy Birthday Grandma Lorrie. We love you!!!
