This year, since Candace's birthday falls on a Sunday we decided in order to still do our annual balloon release we would go up on Saturday so the balloons would still be filled with helium.

It was a blustery rainy day as you can see from the pictures. However, we still enjoyed our balloon release, singing songs, and birthday wishes at Candace's graveside.

The next day we all wore our commemorative "pink" to church in honor of our sweet Candace.

We made a birthday cake and each of the children opened a gift in honor of Candace.
