On November 22, 2015, we threw a 103rd birthday party for Grandma Rose. Unfortunately, she couldn't attend. We served the dishes Grandma would have served for fancy friends if she were here. Camille brought the appetizers--hot tomato juice topped with unsweetened whipped cream and cream puffs stuffed with chicken salad. The entrée was beef stroganoff with dill weed served over rice and accompanied by creamed corn (brought by Grant and Jamie Calder); green salad with fresh grapefruit, avocado, and poppy seed dressing; fresh fruit (brought by Scott and Jean); and Grandma's green jello salad (with crushed pineapple, nuts, evaporated milk, and mayonnaise). Dessert was a slice of angel food cake served with lemon meringue and sweetened whipped cream. After dinner, we watched a screening of Grandpa Grant's photographs.
Mia enjoyed having the attention of her great big cousins, Grant and Spencer.
Jono and Grant are good friends.
The kitchen was packed with cooks and advisors. Ezra stood back and watched the action.
Spencer and Grant brought their friend, Callie, from Sammamish. She was a generous helper.
Scott and Jean came with their sons, Scott Jr. and Grant, their daughters-in-law Tara and Jamie, and with all the kids!
Scott Jr.'s son, William, has a new baby sister, Phoebe Ann.
Heidi is a great sous-chef. She put together the grapefruit and avocado salad.
Scott and Jean provided an array of fruit befitting Grandpa Grant's garden (or, just maybe, excelling it...)
Steve has been doing a lot of traveling lately, and it was good to have him with us.
Grant is a devoted BYU Cougar, but he's also thinking about what Eastern Europe will be like, on his mission.
