We are big on celebrations around here and we take full advantage of any opportunity to celebrate great achievement. All J wanted to do to celebrate his graduation was a small intimate gathering at home with close friends and family. How sweet is that kid.
I decided to host the event at our place and turned it into a grilling party. The event almost got canceled when we had to travel to Canada last minute but everyone was a good sport and didn't mind moving the event by a few days. We came back from Canada that morning around 1100 and turned everything around for J's party starting at 4pm. To say that I was worn out after the event is an understatement.
I got this awesome banner with J's picture from graduation, you know how much I love my banners.
Before the party started, I put the boys down for a nap. I figured they would not enjoy themselves since they were running on fumes.
We just hung out and grilled all afternoon and it was so nice

It was such a great relaxing and easy celebration of my brother J's great achievement. Way to go pharmacist, you deserve it.
Congratulations to your brother again. That is quite an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteGirl, where do you get the energy from? You flew in from an international flight and were still able to host a party the same day? You're pretty awesome but I am sure your family knows this :-).
I love my family get togethers as well so I know the feeling! That cake looks delish!
