My Grandma Knowles celebrated her 89th birthday this weekend. One of the things that she wanted to do was to go to the Music and the Spoken Word Sunday morning. The Tabernacle Choir had special guests "The Piano Guys" and we were all really excited to attend. It was a beautiful performance and we enjoyed being there together. My mom, Aunt Cindy, and Grandma drove down to Salt Lake and stayed overnight in a hotel. Lydia and I drove up and met them the next morning.
(Fun side note: Our dear friend, Leah Ward, is in the Tabernacle Choir! She was sitting in the fourth row from the top on the left side toward the center. It was fun to watch her perform in such a big way.)
Later that afternoon, we had a birthday celebration and any of the grandchildren that lived in Utah and were able to come, came. It was a small gathering, but really, really nice.
My cousin Eliza Knowles Shumway and her family. My cousin Tiffany Curtis Wintle and her family.
Jenna Walker Haderlie and her family. Shantel Walker Peaden and her family.
Grandma and all the grandkids. Grandma Knowles and all the Walkers.
The whole group.
The fact that I was able to go to Hawaii with my grandma in February is still such a dream. What a special opportunity that was for me to spend that time with her. My Grandma had some health issues this summer and was in the hospital for several weeks. Even after she returned home, it took her a long time to recover, and she's been working hard and doing physical therapy each day. I'm so grateful that she's still here to celebrate her birthday with and am hoping for several more years with her. I'm grateful for her influence on my life and SO glad that she's here in Utah where my kids get to spend time with her. Happy Birthday Grandma!
