Evan's Birthday: Balloon Release

Yesterday we celebrated the life of Evan Davies. Evan was born 1 year ago, but due to complications during delivery, he passed away 4 days later. Evan's mommy and daddy asked those who wanted to participate in a birthday celebration, to write him a special note and send it to Evan with a balloon release. This is our celebration.
We made a spice cake and it was very yummy!! Syri dipped into the frosting too :)

We took individual pictures with the balloon and each had the option to say a silent prayer or whatever each of us felt we needed/wanted to say.

Then it was time to release the balloon!

And its off to Evan!

It took it a second to find the wind, but when it did it was soaring fast!
Up up and away
Flying higher and higher


Thank you Evan and Evans family for letting us celebrate your birthday with you. It was a touching experience for us all <3 We know Evan will love our notes and birthday balloon!!
