Those that make you smile

Grandma's death was bittersweet. I know she is in a better place, but it still hurts not having her here. I've been close to my grandparents my entire life, always living close by and spending a lot of time with them. They are both missed so much. I just hope that they had a good time looking down as the whole family got together to share stories and memories of their lives. It doesn't happen often with 5 children, 17 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren scattered all over the country.

Here's our attempt at a family picture (thanks Vivienne for the copy). I won't list everyone, but included are:
4 children
14 grandchildren
12 great-grandchildren
And of course spouses and significant others

We had such a great time seeing everyone. It truly was a celebration of my grandma's life.
