We Have a Graduate!

We spent the past weekend celebrating Issa's high school graduation!

No graduation is complete without an Edible Arrangement:

The high school gave each graduate a yard sign:

And we had a whole team assemble to celebrate our girl. The actual ceremony was Friday night:

Brad's mom came in to join us:

My mom, sister, and Aunt Carol and Uncle Todd also came in:

And let me tell you about this kid:

He was the absolute best brother this weekend. He did more hauling, cooking, and loading and unloading that is reasonable:

The ceremony was at the high school:

It was a little extra special because her principal and I used to work together:

We had great seats and could actually see her:

It was fun to cheer for Kai, too:

And she was so happy walking out of the stadium:

He was just hot:

Saturday, we had her party at Mom's neighborhood clubhouse, which was a perfect venue. Issa pulled her favorite pictures as decorations:

This board is going to go straight into her dorm room:

We served all of Issa's favorites: veggie cups, fruit with dip, chex mix, caprese salad, and cupcakes:

We had the best time celebrating her:

It was so fun to see all of her favorite people in one place:

Family, dance family, neighborhood friends, and friends since birth came out to celebrate:

It was such a fun afternoon, and once again I was so very grateful for her village.

We ended Saturday with a Moe's dinner at Mom's, and we spent yesterday having brunch, celebrating Kai, and then having one last family dinner before people had to head home.

Issa has worked so diligently the past four years, and she was so ready to close this chapter and begin the next. We are so very proud, and we can't wait to see what comes next!
