We spent this past weekend in Colorado for Grandma Will's (Grammy) funeral.
She past away in March, but was cremated so they just had the funeral. (which was very fun explaining to Caitlin and Ashlee who are adamant that they DO NOT WANT TO BE BURNED when they die. Good to know).
Friday night Chris and I got to see his friend and former classmate, Hannah, perform in Legally Blond in Fort Collins. It was great to see her perform again, she did great!!
The rest of the time we hung out mostly at the house with family.
We all played a little game of soccer, except for Molly who was a spectator and cheerleader.
The funeral was Saturday afternoon at the Good Samaritan Village in Loveland where Grammy had been living when she passed away. The service was very nice, and perfect length for the girls.
After the service we had chocolate cake or cherry pie (Grammy's favorites) and hung around to chat for a while.
Ashlee fell asleep, but Caitlin and Gavin had a ton of fun walking over and over and over the heating vents so that Caitlin's dress would be blown out from the air.
That evening we spent several hours back at Chris' parents house going through and dividing some of Grammy's things.
Molly loved carrying around this big teapot. She liked the lid to be on upside down. It anyone fixed it, she would set the teapot down and put the lid back upside down.
Grammy never had her ears pierced, so she had a bunch of clip-on earrings. Caitlin and Ashlee each picked a few pairs to keep for dress-ups as well as a necklace. Gavin also picked a necklace and earrings and wore his the rest of the day too. Dress-ups are fun for everyone!!!
It was a nice weekend and we are glad we could have a special time to remember Grammy and what a great women she was.
