We are busy getting ready for Helen's 100th b-day party on Saturday. Tuesday night we had a little shindig for her at the Gardens - and about 30 friends and ward members came. It was a nice evening - a little confusing for Helen, but she put on her game face and did her best!!
The party Saturday is essentially a family reunion and promises to be a great afternoon.
These photos were found as we have been going through Helen's things as we moved her out of her house.
These are of a younger, single career woman and UCLA grad!! As we took Ara up to BYU, I was imagining that Helen's college years were certainly different than even what I experienced - but I'm sure it was all exciting for her.
A long life, well-lived - and we are grateful that she is with us so we can celebrate this milestone with her.
I just hope her birthday card from the White House, which I ordered 6 weeks ago, comes in time!!
(In case you are interested, just google "birthday greetings from the White House" - they do wedding and birth congratulations too!!)
