In addition to letting off balloons, the kids also sat around the table and colored their favorite memories they each had with Mimi/Grandma. This was lots of fun. The kids have such wonderful memories and it was so fun to talk about them and listen to what they each had to say. It was truly a special time and a great way to keep the memories fresh and alive.

Kayla's memory was riding the train with Grandma at Black Berry Farm
It was an emotional but memorable day. It was a day to reflect and honor an AMAZING woman. She set the bar so high on how to be an incredible mom, an interactive and loving grandparent and a loyal,kind friend. I miss you Mom so much! I'll do all that I can do to keep your memory alive so these kids will never forget how much you truly loved them. Thank you for always loving me, loving my kids and demonstrating the importance it is to love Jesus and to have a relationship with him. Because of that I know we will spend eternity together. Happy Birthday Mom!!!

What beautiful ways to honor your Mom, Alison. She would be proud.
Every year on our birthday, we buy matching balloons and send one up to Cathy too! :)
What a special way to celebrate your Mom- great idea Alison! My mom used to play the troll under the bridge with us too! :)
Wonderful pictures and oh, so touching memories. The countless snacks and hugs your mom dispensed and the ease with which she did it all. Love to you all! How did the climb go for the guys?
