Such a beautiful way to look at those mementos, Denise - especially heart tugging for me at this time of the year (lost my nana and my father in December of 2001). However, thinking of the daughters going to such lengths (or should I say heights...lol) makes my heart happy as well, so it all balances out.
Sounds like you have the perfectly family orientated way of celebrating this month - I hope many happy memories are made!
