Utah Funeral Trip


I took Alice with me on my trip to Utah to attend my Grandma Beth's funeral. I also brought the camera, but ended up not taking many pictures. I went out a day early to spend time with my MIL and good friend Olga. Svetlana took us too this hip frozen yogurt place, where I took this picture of her holding Alice.
We were the only one's there, and Alice acted like she owned the place, making herself comfortable with her blankie.

I had to get a picture with the tulips in Salt Lake, something I miss here in PA.
Doesn't Mom look great in this picture holding Addie? I really didn't take many pictures. Alice was literally a handful.
I wanted so much to get a good shot of the cousins reunited, but this is the best I could get. Alice was super tired at the time and neither one of the girls was in the mood for picture taking.
The funeral was really great. It was so good to hear stories from Grandma's life from Reah and Rachel, and Larry shared some details about Grandma's last days and hours. I cannot imagine a more ideal way to leave this world. She was ready and at peace, which knowledge helped us really celebrate her life at her funeral.

Darn, I was hoping you'd gotten a picture of Addie feeding Alice those cereal puffs. That was the cutest thing ever.

Svetlana looks like the hippest mother in law! She looks younger every time I see her.

Wow, Alice is really growing up! Sorry for your loss.
