All of my siblings came from Grandma Shurtz's funeral. As they started flying in, we enjoyed seeing the sights they wanted to see. We stopped at BYU to see the beautiful campus.
The spring flowers were beautiful.
We ate lunch at Cafe Rio.
We stopped at Temple Square to see the lovely grounds.
We dropped by Grandma Fuller's place to surprise her a day early.
We loved hosting the family in our house! Lots of food, games, memories
When the last sibling Jon arrived, we welcomed him with a victory tunnel. It was a little piece of heaven all 9 of us together. Grandma was thrilled to see us at her place.
The guys placed basketball in our backyard.
The ladies took me maternity clothes shopping and cheered for the guys.
Since it was Easter weekend, we had a little Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard. How fun it was to see everyone running for the eggs just like our childhood.
During the funeral, it was a special time to honor Grandma Shurtz. Dad and Mom skyped to feel a part of the funeral. Nearly all of Grandma's 50 grandchildren were there.

A beautiful day to say our goodbyes to our dear Grandma. We did do the honkey pokey as she requested at the luncheon, sing "I Had Such a Pretty Dream Mama", and remember the wonderful moments she shared.
