Tommy's Memorial Celebration - 1 year anniversary edition!

Lots of late night music rehearsing...

...And tired teens...
Gave way to a beautiful memorial celebration!  
This was the one-year anniversary of the loss of our friend Tommy (remember here?)
It was a joyful day of celebrating Tommy's life and all the goodness that God has provided through it!
Joshua did a great job on his BASS!!  We are so glad he can use his gifts to bless others.  

😍 Daddy played the guitar, piano and drums beautifully and took a break for some sweet Andrew snuggles 😍
Everyone did a great job and the grieving family was so blessed!
Impromptu jam during lunch...
So many sweet girlies! 
The "Toothless Twinsies" were soooo cute!!! 
Lots of outdoor game fun!! 


The afternoon gave way to much laughter, fellowship and then more food!
Teen talk...

The evening was open for more singing, worship, dancing and s'mores around the fire!! 



We are so blessed and thankful for Tommy's life and legacy which continue on in Christ-honoring love!
