The viewing and funeral

I took Ellie with me to the viewing on Saturday afternoon. She skipped nap to go with me. She was such great company and so amazingly well behaved. She did go up and see Great Grandma many times. She even pulled her cousins up with her to touch her hands and admire her. So many people showed up to see Grandma and Grandpa. It was really nice. She had lots of flowers and a lovely video made by Brant. Ellie was so good. She was so tired when we drove home; she had a nap in the car.

Monday was the funeral and the whole family went. The service was really great and it was pretty long. The church was really packed. I didn't bring any entertainment for the kids. They just sat with us and tried to listen. Max was fascinated with the Bibles and started remembering songs from Wiggles. It was cute. Ellie did a lot of drawing and writing. There were several compliments afterwards around how well behaved they all were. I was very proud.
