We're Home!

As most of you know, my Great-Grandma Lee just passed away a week ago. So, my family and I flew out to Denver, CO for the funeral service. I got to see some of my relatives that I have not seen in years. It was a bittersweet reunion. We keep on telling each other that we need to get together when there is not a death in the famiy. After the funeral, we drove out to the middle of Kansas where we went in April for my Great-Grandpa Glen's funeral, Geneseo. (My relatives that have passed are on two different sides of my family.)

Here we are eating at a restraunt after the funeral in Denver.
On the left side of the table is Grandpa Joe and Grandma Laura, Uncle Rick and Auntie Lisa, Christian, Jesse, and Spencer. On the right side are Me, Sophie, Dad, Mom, Joseph, and Aunt Lori (Grandma Lee's youngest sister).

These are some pretty cool stain-glass windows in a church that we had lunch in Geneseo.


These are some of my long lost cousins.
Left to Right: Brianna, Shari, Billy, Bevin, Braden, Brody, Brittney, Rob.

It was so cold! Thankfully after the gravesite service, the church there prepared a meal and warm drinks for all.

As you can see by Christian's face, it was very cold. It was really 1 degree out but the wind chill was at some points
-15 degrees. *BRRR*

Spencer and Jesse are very fond of Mario, to put it very lightly. So, when they got new t-shirts... Well, let's just say that they were very happy...

It was really nice to see my cousins so soon...

Chocolate Cake+ Jesse= Happiness :)


Have a wonderful week!
