Cindy Celebration 2014

I can't believe it's been 10 years since Aunt Cindy passed away.  It's hard to think about how much she has missed here on earth - marriages, babies, deaths, and so on.  But it's also neat to see how everyone has grown and still done wonderful things with each of their lives. It was a blast as always - catching up with all of the cousins, celebrating Grandma Jody's 80th birthday, and watching all the new baby cousins interact with each other.  All of the little cousins - Grady, Emma, Landrey, Ayla, Rylee, and Presley ran around and played every time they saw each other.  It was so fun to see Abe scream and giggle when kids and adults chased her.  She's growing up so quickly!  Although we hate that Aunt Cindy isn't around, we make the best of it and I'm so glad we still celebrate her life every year in the way that we do!  Get ready for a massive amount of photos!

This was the best cousin photo we could get before everything broke loose




Love how through the years they have acquired lawn chairs for our annual visit with Aunt Cindy


Having the traditional mimosa toasts around Aunt Cindy

Rylee joined in with orange juice this year

And Presley got a cup

"See what her last name is?  It's Lynn!  What is your last name Grady?  It's Lynn too!  Because this is your grandma!"  Such a priceless moment to witness

Rylee loved Cindy's Angel - and even tried to take it lol



I think Cindy would have loved the little grand kids climbing all over her, so this was very fitting
