Memorial Day

This was Chris' first time that he was able to go to the cemetery with the Bleazards. Its always been a tradition. Usually around noon we meet at the Riverview Heights Cemetery in Kennewick where my Grandpa Bleazard, his sister Doris, and my sister Jenna are buried. We have a very short program. This year Grandma had 3 letters that she recieved from different people at the time of Grandpa's passing. There is always at least one musical number. This year, Chris and Aaron sang "Nearer My God To Thee".
My sisters Sara, Emily, Ashley, and Jessica also sang a hymn. Addysin and Caiden wanted to be a part of it. Addysin totally didn't know the words but was mouthing something :)
 Our family with Jenna. She would have been 19 years old, but died just after she was born. 
Afterwards we always meet at someones house for a BBQ potluck, usually at my parents. This year my parents were scrambling to get ready for Amy's wedding so Grandma took all of us out to Granny's Buffet! What a treat!
