Jonny Turns 42 (12.19.25)

Jonny has always been so cute--so happy, funny, and surrounded by friends.  On December 19, 2025, family members gathered at "The Mint", an Asian restaurant in Salt Lake City, to celebrate Jonny's 42nd birthday.  
Jenny planned the event as a surprise party.  She relented and told Jonny about the party when he grumbled that this was his worst birthday ever, with no one remembering him.  When Jonny met Dave and me inside the restaurant, we asked, "Were you surprised?"  "You gave it away when you parked your black Toyota Forerunner right in front of the restaurant with its 'Grevid' license plate," Jonny replied.

It was a treat to spend several hours together, as parents, children, and spouses, talking and eating sushi and "small plates" of gyoza, coconut shrimp, and other delicacies.
Jonny realized he was loved and not forgotten, as we each said "nice things" about Jonny.  Those included his optimism, his great people skills, his talent of throwing himself wholeheartedly into whatever interests him, the energy and creativity he puts into being a good father, his praises of and compliments for Jenny, and so many other things.
 
Jonny even shared bites of his birthday dessert with his family.  We love Jonny!
