Under the Magnolias 2014

On April 19th we gathered with friends and family to celebrate the blossomy beauty of the magnolia trees in NYC.  They burst into bloom earlier that week and then were threatened by a frosty snow storm, but the blooms persevered and we enjoyed a gorgeous grove of magnolias in full bloom.

We are so grateful for the opportunity each spring to celebrate her with the blooming of the glorious trees that were her namesake.  It has been a joyful occasion both years, with children playing on and under the branches of the magnolias while we get the chance to talk and connect with friends and family.

We hope to continue this tradition, to meet each year and share the beauty of these ephemeral blooms which so perfectly mimic the brief and glorious life of our girl.

And a gorgeous pink sunset to end the day...
