Birthday Dinner at the Ichihashi's





It was the Grandmother's 88th birthday and Michiko invited us to join the celebration in their home. We sat on the floor and used chopsticks and ate all the yummy food Michiko had prepared. The grandma hasn't joined the church but Michiko and Hirohiko raised their daughters in the gospel and they served missions and married in the temple. The oldest daughter has four children and the oldest is three! The beautiful delicate flowers in the picture are real. They were the grandma's gift. This amazing 88 year old woman knelt on her knees and ate with us the entire evening. Marsh and I lasted about fifteen minutes.
