On Kynslee's birthday we went and donated a bunch of her stuff to Primary's and did it in her name. A couple of weeks ago, we got a nice letter from Primary's saying thank you for the things we donated. Well, someone recognized her name with her picture and they sent us a brochure for Festival of Trees, and it has Kynslee's picture on it! That was really fun for us.
Then, this weekend was Festival of Trees, and they had pictures of Kynslee on the posters. Ben and I went on Saturday and as you walk into the main hall with all the trees, there was a large poster with Kynslee in the middle picture. She looks so cute! It was taken when she was just about a month old, so she is tiny.
Also, my cousin's wife, Melissa made a tree with her family and wanted to do it for Kynslee. We were so touched and it meant so much! And the tree was beautiful! They did an amazing job. Everyone would stop and look at it and at Kynslee's picture. It was so cute! Thanks Melissa! :) As always, it was fun to see Kynslee in these pictures and have this wonderful tree to honor her, but it was hard as well. I just miss her. That's all I can say.
And we finally got Kynslee's headstone in. We are so happy to have it! It's been a long road with this thing. It took us, well me mostly, awhile to decide exactly what I wanted. I went back and forth, and had a hard time committing to a final decision. After we had finally decided what we wanted, they had to order the stone from China, which took about 3 months. So after all that, we finally got it put in! It feels good to have it, even though we wish we didn't have to have it all. But it is something we can do for her, and that makes us feel good. So here are some pictures of it. We found out it was put in on Friday, and Ben didn't get off work until 8:30, so when we went down and saw it, it was dark. But we got some good pictures of it. Then on Sunday we went down again and got some pictures of it in the day time. It's beautiful and everything we wanted it to be!
You can't see the bottom words very well, but it says, Daughter of Ben and Teea.
Isn't the color of the stone beautiful? I love it! It's called China Pink. Pink fits Kynslee!
Here is Kynslee and Unlce EJ. I am glad she is not alone. I know EJ is watching over her and protecting her.

Teea,
The headstone is absolutely beautiful. I cry for you and admire your strength. Thank you for letting us honor precious Kynslee at the festival. She is adored by everyone. Her pictures on the brochures are so darling. What a beautiful soul. I think about her everyday. Much love to you!
Teea her headstone is so beautiful! I think about you all time and Monika said she ran into you and that you would join us in our dinner dates one night! We will let you know for sure when it happens! Love you guys! Merry Christmas!
looks great Teea. Love you
I can't wait to see her headstone at Christmas! And the Tree looked Beautiful! I'm sure she approves of both and just loves them!
Your little Kynslee is such a BEAUTIFUL little girl!! I love the tree that was made in honor of her. The headstone is perfect. You two are such wonderful people!
It was great to see you at graduation. Congrats! Graduating is a HUGE accomplishment, especially with all that has been going on in your lives. We really admire you two! Thanks for your great influence in our lives.
Just dropping by to say I'm thinking about you today.
Hope your holidays are going ok.
I love the headstone!!! We too chose the large heart shaped for Hope's and also the same graphic with Christ holding the baby on the back. Great minds think alike. It's only fitting since our daughters conditions were so much the same.
I can only imagine the relief it was for you to know it was placed so at least others will know it's very sacred ground.
I think that is awesome about the Festival of Trees and how your daughter was remembered.
(HUGS)
