Lauren is ready for Christmas

Brandon, Halley, and I went to decorate for Lauren on Friday 12/12/14. Christmas is our favorite time of year so we always have to make sure Lauren is decked out! Some of the decorations are from previous years and we added a few new things this year as well. Halley even decorated Lauren's tree, which I didn't get a good picture of, but it definitely makes her entire area more festive. We also decorated her pink Christmas tree, that was gifted to her last year, added some of her stuffed animals from previous years, added the new "Santa stop here" sign and of course a new snow globe! If you know us well, you know we are big collectors for snow globes, so we always take her a new one. Brandon also made her a Christmas tree with red and silver garland and we added candy canes to that one and her other Christmas tree. We also left her  lights around her headstone this year, instead of on the tree, but decided to leave them on the entire time this year, so it can be festive 24/7 for her. I think we did a great job. :D <3

As a mini act of kindness, we added some of Lauren's flowers a man's vase that is buried close to Lauren. We do not know him, but sometimes see his family visiting him. Any time we go and his vase is empty, we add something in there for him. I know it must be hard on them without their husband/ father. They once did that for Lauren, added a flower in her vase, and we were so grateful and thought it was so kind, so we make sure to continue to do it for them.
