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.
