Happy Heavenly Birthday Kamdyn!

For Kamdyn's 2nd birthday, we had all our family come up and we ate yummy soup and rolls. Then we went up to the cemetery and sang Happy Birthday and did a balloon release. After Easton let go of his balloon, he was so excited all day to send a balloon to Kamdyn, he came running over to me and told me that he saw Kamdyn reach down and grab a balloon. I asked him what color she grabbed and he said the white one, so it would match her white dress. I just love this kid to pieces! We also asked our family to donate money to the most amazing cause, A Good Grief which raises money to pay for childrens headstones. We were able to send $500 to A Good Gried in Kamdyns name. The only thing that would have made this day better, would be to have our little girl with us. Thank you to everyone who donated and for all the support you have given our family. We love you all and are so grateful!

My hubby tells me the story of how when his dad died, all 8 kids and mom wrote notes to him and sent them up to him in balloons. But his brother's balloon got caught in the trees over the grave and popped. His brother did not handle that too well.

I think that was the first and last time they released balloons for their dad.

SOOO, not to make light of the tradition, because I really do think it is great- I just have to say that I smiled so big at hearing that Easton told you she reached down and got the white balloon. I'm so happy that it was a great experience. I hope it continues to be so!

Happy Birthday little Kamdyn! I love your little family!

This brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful little girl, and what a blessing that you will be able to with her again. That's so cute about letting the balloons go. Such a great idea.
