New Years Eve at the Earnshaw’s

^^I was pretty pleased that they all wore their orange sweaters – – all my favorite boys.

^^My wonderful grandparents! They’re in their mid/late eighties and were eager for a Johnny Rocket’s lunch date after a morning at the temple. As we sit down in the booth Grandpa wanted to know if they had malts, and then turns to Grandma and says, “We should split a malt, like we used to when we were dating.” It was fun to hear a few stories of their courtship over lunch and I am so grateful for this example of commitment to marriage…sixty years and counting.

^^Caleb and Grandma – all seven of us were a little squished in that booth 🙂

^^Have you ever been to Johnny Rockets? Its one of my favorites, and was a post-temple tradition back in the day.

^^Their chocolate shakes are to die for.

^^My little brother is kinda cute.

^^gotta love my boys

^^gettin artsy with this old key and the fire (some of my earliest memories are trying to use this to unlock the china cabinet – I was three).

^Every year on New Years Eve we each write a bad habit we want to give up in the new year and burn it in the fire.
