Memorial Day Traditions

We headed down to Dallas yesterday to go with Doug's family to clean and spruce up family grave sites at the cemetery there. It was a fun day with family and remembering those who have gone before us and those who fought for our freedom.

Sweet Lillian... SO hard to get a smily shot of her but I succeeded...woohoo!! 

My swinger!

Lilly and Zach... he is such a good big brother!

Love my boy!

Getting flowers ready.. the kids were excited to help this year more than any other year!

The kids did a great job helping clean and help put flowers on the graves.

The kids each get their own watering can thanks to my sis-in-law! 

Cousins!

Lilly would chase after the "big kids" and shout "I gonna get wooo!!!"" It was hilarious!

It took her a LONG time to tire out from chasing! :)

We ended our time together with a  backyard picnic at my in-laws. It was, as usual, a special day.
