Kari's 21st Birthday

Kari celebrated her birthday for an entire week.  She and Rachel drove down to California and partied for five days.  They biked Balboa Island, went to the beach and ate Sushi.  Sister Cathy McLane let them stay at her house.  

When she got home from California,we celebrated with amazing food all grilled by Dad--shrimp, filet, veggies.  I made the salad and bought the cake.  Wow did I get off easy or what.
 

The cake was from "The Chocolate."  It was delicious!  It was a special birthday for Dave and I because 21 does seem like an adult.  Kari has been a loving and caring sister. I am thankful for her.

For her gift she wanted a picture of the Salt Lake Temple.  She shopped around for about three months and found a beautiful painting.  She has it in her apartment and it certainly adds to the wonderful Spirit that is there.

After her gifts and cake, we sat around telling stories of Kari when she was little.  It was great fun.  Her friends Rachel and Mayu were there and it was fun to get to know her new roommates.
