Alta's 90th Birthday

🧵 Alta, Sister, Mom, Grandma, "Other Grandma"

Whatever you call her, she's had a profound impact on all our lives. From her roots in Kansas to her current home in Arizona, Alta has been a constant presence and light through every chapter of our lives.

Together with Irvin, Alta has supported our family in countless ways. Whether through encouragement, advice, financial help, or simply being there when we needed her most, she's shown up for us time and time again. Now living with family in Arizona, she remains the steady heartbeat of our family, continuing to inspire us with her strength, grace, and unwavering love.

From two daughters to five grandsons, and now five precious great-grandchildren, Alta's family tree has grown and flourished. With new family members joining through both marriage and birth, our family continues to expand in beautiful ways.

Now, Alta would tell you this celebration is too much fuss—she'd say it's too expensive, that we shouldn't go to all this trouble. But here's the truth: this is about Alta, but it isn't only about Alta. It's about coming together as a family to reconnect, catch up, and celebrate the bonds that tie us together. Alta's 90th birthday is the perfect reason—the perfect excuse—to bring everyone together.

So yes, we're honoring this incredible milestone and the amazing woman who has woven us all together. But we're also celebrating us—the family she helped create, the connections she's nurtured, and the love she's modeled for us all. Join us for a day of stories, laughter, and reconnection. Let's show Alta that the greatest gift isn't the party—it's having her whole family in one place, together.
