FamilyHomeEvening


Our Friends got this great Idea from a friend of theres. We liked the Idea so much we decided to do this for Our Family Home Evening.


Our Family Mission Statement!

We put a lot of thought into what we wanted Our Family to Stand for.

What we hope to Aspire to, and what we want to Teach Our Children.

We plan on printing this out & framing it for Our Family Room.

Happy Birthday Mommy...

Its hard to believe that in 2 1/2 months, we will be approaching 5 years that you left.

There is still not a day, I dont think about you.

I am constantly sharing things about you to your grandbabies. You will find a picture of you, in each of there rooms. They both know that its Grandma.

We sing songs that you use to sing to us growing up. We dance your silly dances, and we read your favorite books.

The kids think it smells like cupcakes(vanilla) when you come around. And they love it as much as I do!

Sometimes I walk in on the kids talking in conversation and laughing to someone I cant see. When I ask them who they are talking to. They always reply Grandma. As if I were asking a dumb question in the first place. I know without a doubt that it is you.

I love when all of the kids get together, its like having pieces of you around. I love spending time with your Sister for the same reasons.

I love how we honour you every year, even though you arent here physcially. How we end up laughing so hard and crying the next. Mostly it just feels good to remember and be reminded why I love you and adore you so much.

With every year, I feel closer to you. I feel, I am able to relate to you. Im understanding more and more the sacrifices you made, and how strong you were.

I only hope, I can be half the person you were. I Love You So much!! Happy Birthday Mommy! Cant wait for the day I can celebrate with you again!!
