Oh my tiredness.
We had company. We had graduation. We had the party of parties. We had 2 days of college orientation. We had work. We then went off for a family vacay.
Life is busy. Life is good.
We got back last night and I have much to share about our little getaway.
{Hint: I'll not be happy until I have my very own pet dolphin!!}
I did want to share some of Lindsay's graduation party. Let me preface this by saying I COULDN'T have done it alone. IT takes a team.
My Mom, Aunt, Uncle, Coach, Lolo, Linds, BOTH SETS OF INLAWS and myself made it happen.
Oh….and my sweet friend Dawn made these amazing cupcake holders!!
My child could not decide between cupcakes or a cake….and since I usually say NO to so much, I said yes. She asked if we could change the "English" book to "Dance".
So, I'm low on candid and decoration photos. Why? Because my good camera was set up for our Photo-booth. Yep….we rigged it up and it was FUN FUN FUN!
If you mix teenage girls with a camera….well, you'll not see or hear from them forever.
They could do this all day…..and if you counted all the pics I have, they did.
I tried to get Linds in with all her guests. Everyone was game….The afro wig saw a lot of action.
Linds, Suz and cuz Patrick…yes, we are rappers. Or gangsters. Or just silly people with hats….
That sparkly mask my Uncle Jim is wearing is missing…..I think he really liked it!
My Mom is the original gangster. That gang sign?
"Yo, I'm up for two knee replacements…any takers?"
"Yo, I'm up for two knee replacements…any takers?"
My sweet friend Dawn and her boys.
It was such a great party….so many of our family members and friends who are family members joined us to celebrate Lindsay!
And of course…..I got a family photo. I'm thinking Christmas card????
I hope you are all doing well. I'm back to work today and I'll try to catch up with everyone soon.
Woot woot. I've nothing out of the ordinary scheduled for at least 7 days.
Love, love, love it--the party decor (especially the cupcake wrappers), the photo booth, the family, the fun!

What a fun party!! I'll have to come and ask you for tips and tricks when it's Hannah's turn to graduate in two years. Gulp, that seems like it's in the very near future... Pet dolphin, I think you need to make room for that. ;-)

ReplyDeleteIt looks like wonderful, full week (month?) you've had! I'm so far behind on blogging that I started reading this days ago, and just today, finally got to the FUN photo booth! Only you would think of, and make that happen, Suz! You are the most fun mom in Florida (or should I say, Flo-RIDAH?)!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your family, especially that sweet graduate! xoxo
