Pomp and Circumstance

One of the reasons for this big trip was to see Aunt Liddy graduate tonight!!!!  WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Funny to look back through all of the old pictures of trips of her growing up and now she is graduating.  

We had made it halfway through the line at this point!!!!!  Each student got 10 tickets and this is the result!!!!!!!!!!!

The Graduate!!!!

Waiting for her name to be called....

It's official......she is out of high school and off to college!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mr. Principal

She was super excited.....just trying to hide it and be cool!!!!!

Kinda proud.....

I think Will was excited....  How bout you????

Sisters

They are both Daddy's girls....

Grandpa D is smiling cause he is proud.... but on the inside he is thinking about how much college is going to cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fam.....

Anything other than a normal smile.....

Example #2.....Although, I am going to have to crop this one close in and frame it......click on the pic and zoom in.....HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

If it is not a crazy face, this is what we get.....  try and explain the words "natural smile" to a 4 1/2 year old!!!!!!!

Graduation was great, the speeches were on the money and they moved 177 grads and all of the speeches in an hour and a half!!!!!!!!!  Impressive...  Afterwards, we loaded up and headed back to the house to celebrate...pizza (had my first slice of gluten free), presents and gluten free berry delight.  While we all sat around talking and eating, the graduate patiently sat and endured the fam and then headed out to a get together!!!!!!!  Seems like mine was only yesterday, but i hate to admit that 23 years have flown by...I guess we will be doing all of this for Will before I know it!!!

Congratulations Aunt Liddy, have fun at Elmira!!!!!!!!

Love,

B & W
