October 22nd, 2010 turned out to be a beautiful day in Madison, Wisconsin. The angels must have been looking down on us and smiling knowing that Kennedy's mom, dad and grandparents wanted a special day to honor their little girl in Heaven. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to honor and remember our sweet little butterfly. The only thing that could have made it better is if she would have physically been there with us, but we are learning to accept that Kennedy was needed in another place. We all look forward to the day when we can be with her again. Happy heavenly birthday, Kennedy Kate. Hugs and kisses to you always.
Here are many of the pictures of the birthday celebration for Kennedy.
It really turned out beautiful.

Kennedy's Grandma Gigi had made an early stop at the memorial park to leave some special things for her that day. Kennedy even has her own little cupcake at her headstone where we can leave special notes for her now.

What a lovely celebration! Just perfect for a butterfly angel girl.
What a beautiful day to celebrate Kennedy - and a lovely idea to tie the letter to the balloons! <3
Happy Heavenly Birthday Kennedy :-) May your family find peace in their struggle of dealing with your absence.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my page...if its publicized I was followed I follow back...I got you followed now :-) thank you God Bless us and keep our hearts light and our feet firmly planted on the ground to share our faith despite our trials we face here on earth. :-)
We send our Natalie balloons so she can have them for her birthday party with Jesus. My rainbows love this and my son even decided he wanted to send her a pumpkin balloon with a drawing of the pumpkin he picked out for her for "pumpkin time". I think you started a beautiful tradition. (((hugs))) I know she celebrated with Jesus and all her friends with cupcakes, dancing and tons of snuggles and hugs. :)
The picture of your husband writing Kennedy her letter breaks my heart.
This is just so unspeakably lovely. Happy birthday in Heaven!
What a beautiful day! She is one lucky little girl to have such loving parents and grandparents!
