I'm trying something new today and linking up with Lisa's Hello Monday Series.
So...without further ado....
Hello.....
To the proud graduate processing into the graduation tent!(This is my favorite pic...he is sooo happy:)
Hello.....
To the Summa Cum Laude Graduate with the 3.89 GPA!
 |
| With my sister who is the director of the science labs at the college...and 16 inches shorter than Mike! |
Hello.....
To a small family party(haha...small and our family is an oxymoron!)...with new, fun recipes and a special oreo cheesecake cake for dessert. I have mixed reviews for the cake...the cake part was very good, the white chocolate buttercream frosting was really good, but the cheesecake layer was a little disappointing.(And anyone that knows me knows that I bake many cheesecakes a year!) It just wasn't as fluffy and creamy as other cheesecakes. I'm thinking it's that way on purpose because it wouldn't be able to work as a middle layer otherwise. It's an interesting concept....but I think an incredible cheesecake is better standing alone! It was fun to make something special for Mike, though...and no one complained when they ate it:)
Hello.....
To suprising Mike with the news that several of his friends would be arriving for pizza and smores a couple of hours later! That party went on until after midnight!
Hello...
To Part II to our Saturday celebrations....
and Andrew's Baccalaureate Mass on Saturday night!
Hello.....
To Sunday morning when Andrew asked if he could have homemade meatball subs instead of pizza after his afternoon graduation! And, since it's his special day, how could I say no. So Andrew ran out to the local bakery to get rolls and to the grocery store to grab hamburger. Thankfully, I already had the sauce ingredients and I got it all made and put together just in time to leave for his graduation.(With a little help from Sarah to take the meatballs out of the oven and put them in the crockpot! Thx, Sarah!)
Hello.....
To another proud graduate with his proud grandparents.(Jay's dad is a math teacher at the high school and we got him to keep his robe on just long enough to snap a picture!:) I cannot believe how fast those four years went by! It was a good experience for Andrew...and that particular school was where he was meant to be!
Hello.....
To another small family party that included Andrew's girlfriend, Courtney, (who goes to a different high school that graduated this past Thursday...Congrats to Courtney:), and...................
.............more cake! This cake is courtesy of Jay's mom and is Andrew's favorite!
Hello.......
To a double graduation weekend
.....and proud but exhausted parents!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend, too!
Thanks for letting me share our celebration pictures!
