We celebrated my Dad's birthday last week. It's been just over 2 months since we lost him. It's still kind of hard to believe he's not here. Every year for the last few years I've been organizing a get-together for my mom and sisters (and we usually end up having other family along, too). This year we decided to have it on my dad's birthday. I think it was a good way to honor him and it was good to be together.
We started the day with a nice brunch and then went to the Cinderella movie. It's been quite some time since Mom has been to a movie theater! It was fun to go together.
Afterwards we bought some things to put on Dad's grave and then went to the cemetery and decorated his grave. Mom has ordered a headstone, but it hasn't been finished and set yet.
We perused the Holy Cow Boutique in Pleasant Grove, but were all needing a break by then and didn't stay long. However, my niece couldn't resist the overwhelmingly delicious smell of the buns they sell there!

We ended the day at Mom's house with a dinner Dad would have liked followed by birthday cake. We sang "Happy Birthday" to Dad. Not your average birthday celebration, but what do you do when the guest of honor is gone? I'm glad Mom didn't have to spend the day alone.
