THE GRAD PARTY!! Part 2, the party....

We had SO MUCH FUN celebrating these two with precious friends and family!! 

The dinner was delicious and the company even better...

So many sweet friends came out to celebrate! 

My lil' love 😍

Yummm....

Steve gave THE BEST speech. We are so proud of our kiddos! 

Then he SURPRISED me by asking me to say a few words 😂

Not sure how eloquent that was😅

Definitely brought me to tears!! 

 

LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

 

Love my cousins!! 

 

Cakes were a hit! 

Such a wonderful evening of fellowship and FUN!! 

THE GRAD PARTY!! Part 1, the prep....

AAAAAAHHHHHH!

THE time has officially come...

Daddy bought ALL KINDS of things to get ready for the party...😂😎

 

The tent rental arrived to set up on the newly graded pad (way to go, men!💪)

The boys were very eager to supervise the inflation of the Lego bounce house!! 

(We had to have some fun for the little kids! 😁)

Did I mention that they LOVED IT?! 😂

We ended up buying our own lights because we wanted some for outdoors anyways...but that also meant we had to hang them ourselves.  Joshua painstakingly hung all 600 lights.  By himself!! 😲💪

 

He then headed over to our newly graded circle and strung even more lights there!  

Aaaaaahmazing!! 

Last minute errands!! 

We had fun 😁

I hired some help with the food with the idea that we could not be stressed before the party...haha. 

Our family got everything set up juuuust in time!! Whew! 

 

These poster boards flanked the tent entrance...

They were so fun!  A lifetime of memories...💞💞

Natalie did an AWESOME job with all the flower arrangements on all the tables!! 

Soooo exciting!! Stay tuned for the party!!
