Happy Memorial Day!
Memorial day is a great chance to get involved in a unique way. This year I was able to talk to my girls about death more and have them understand. We talked about why it's important to still honor those who have passed on. So we went to the cemetery and looked for graves that seemed lonely and in need of some cheer. I kept it simple and bought a few things from the dollar store and let the girls pick where to put them.
Also, I forgot to add this! We went and saw my grandparents and June and Hazel got to tell them about themselves!

We drove by a cemetery on Memorial Day and Hazel wanted to stop to see the flowers and explained why they were there to me. You taught them a wonderful life lesson. Love these pictures.
Oh my goodness, this makes me cry. What a good experience for them to see someone who is grieving and then have a chance to make thats persons day a little better, and I love the idea that they get to look at graves that are lonely and choose to brighten them up a little bit. And I love the picture of Hazel holding her flower and standing next to gravestone looking out at the graveyard.
This is a wonderful idea! So sweet.
