We had quite the graduation party on Sunday for Princess and Dog Walker. Since Princess is graduating from high school on June 4th and they both graduated from SLCC on May 7, we decided to choose a date in the middle to celebrate their accomplishments.
It was a rainy, overcast day, so we weren't sure how many people would brave the weather, but my sweetie barbecued 50 pounds of chicken anyway and we hoped for the best. Princess made piles of cookies and nearly 100 cupcakes. The rest of us cleaned the house and made salads.Then we waited.
It turned out wonderfully well! Princess and I counted 63 people (afterward, while we were remembering so we might have forgotten a few). There was plenty of food and laughter and friendship. The food was amazing although we are still eating leftover bbq chicken and salads. (It has been nice to not have to worry about cooking this week although my sweetie did complain that he is getting tired of eating the same thing every day...)Thank you everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to attend and spoil my kids with gifts and praise. You are all so awesome and supportive! We love you.
**I know my sweetie took pics of the graduation party, I just can't find them and he is sleeping, so tonight you get a few more from their actual graduation day. I will change them out tomorrow, so make sure to stop back.**
Congratulations to both of them!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter and son, what great accomplishments indeed..May God find a way for more scholarships for your daughter and son if he chooses to pursue his BS degree, from reading your blog your daughter will sail right thru to her bs and above, maybe she will be the recipient of many scholarships to help her on her life quest of education! ciao!
ReplyDeleteAlso your son is spectacular in his mission and his life too, meant to say that, whether he pursues more college is his choice what a spectacular young man...it is all because of you Sandy and your husband too..If only other people could read your blog and gleam a teeny tiny amount of advice from raising such a wonderful family of children who are loving of the Lord their faith and so sweet and kind, loving to each other, what a wonderful world this would be..God blessings to them and to you and yours..ciao!
