They are SO EXCITED for this day! Look at those smiles and what do you think of the 2007 glasses?

Dads and dds below. The moms were too busy working and getting ready to take time for a picture. It’s a good thing the dads were there to ease the stress and add some humor!

We also had a slide show running with all of Amanda’s photos from birth to graduation. This is a picture of her table decorated with all of these things.

Josh helped with the decorating… one of things he did was spread the gold ribbon around on the tables.

We had a GREAT turnout. I’m not sure how many people came to the party, but I think there were several hundred who came and went throughout the afternoon. We had a lot of fun seeing family and friends some of whom we haven’t seen for quite awhile.

We had one cake for the girls with their real names and one with their nicknames!

It all looks fabulous! I especially like the 2007 glasses. LOL

Are these photos from the church/your home or both?

Kristine,
You won’t even BELIEVE this.. but I didn’t even PLAN all those pictures of various people in the glasses… it just happened that way.. but you can go on thinking I had it all planned out (LOL).

DeEtta,
The whole series of photos were from the night before at the party we had in the church hospitality room (so to speak.. not an official hospitality room), the graduation ceremony which was in the church sanctuary the next evening, opening packages at home…. so yep.. pictures from all of the different parts!

Cindy – everything looked so nice! The glasses were a great addition! You all did a wonderful job! It looks great!

I’m typically not one who listens to country music very often, but for some reason I’ve been hearing this song almost everywhere I turn this year and it reminds me so much of our dear friends and our annual (we’ve only had two so far, but who’s counting!) camping trip …
