Celia’s Graduation Party

Did I tell you this past week was "Crazy/Busy"? Well to top it off, we hosted Celia's graduation party at our house! It was so much fun, a great turnout for her and a good time had by all. Raymond came home for the weekend to help get the back yard "presentable", it was nice to have him home, hopefully he will only have one more week in Florida and be home for a while after that project is completed. It would be easy to say that Emma misses him, because she does, but so do I!

The party was great, Patty did her usual thing, food presentation was beautiful and well the food she makes is always great! I created a slideshow of Celia, reflecting her life from infancy till present, we projected it off the side of the house, made her dad and g-ma (Melissa), cry…you guys know that is how I know if I did a good job or not, if someone cries, well I consider not only a job well done but also job accomplished! It was nice to have a back yard full of friends and family, of all ages and sizes. The kids enjoyed jumping on the trampoline, playing on the swing set, most of all the pool! The adults enjoyed sitting around, fellowshipping and catching up with each other, especially those who haven't seen each other in a while, and of course eating. We all had a great time…hope you enjoy the few pics that I took!
