celebration highlights

Now that all the hullabaloo over the haboob has mostly been swept away... how about a few photos from the graduation celebration? The day itself was great, with all our families and friends here to honor our graduates. We thank everyone that traveled near and far to spend the day (and week) with us. It means so very much to us.

Now. A few highlights.

Team Sisters. Without their help I would have been a frazzled hostess. "Go Team!"

The graduates. Without them...we would not have had a party.

"Go Graduates!"
One of my photo tributes measuring how quickly they grow. Inch by inch. Year by year. sniff.
The dessert table. Because that is what it is all about. And yes...we pretty much ate them all. "sah-weet!"
Cupcakes!
Our night-before-the-party bull riding extravaganza!
Pool race extravaganza!
Our Arizona event would not be complete without this early morning visitor. Evidently, the heat was getting to this guy because he had wrapped himself around this plant pot and was drinking water out of this dish. Sssspecial.

Our post-party-day fun at the lake with cousins. Way fun!
The Minute-To-Win-It game night. It ended with this girl getting tossed into the pool with one of her uncles!
And then, our Tie-Dye t-shirt event.
Hooray!

Again, we thank all of our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpa, sons, daughters, cousins and friends that came from near and far to help celebrate our graduates.

It was fun!
