Keep the Grad Parties Coming!

It's a big month of graduation celebrations in my family!

My brother is having his enormous party this Saturday and my cousin had his party last Saturday. This means lots of BBQ fun times and lots of family time for this girl. I don't think I've got to spend this much time together with my extended family since probably Christmas and it's been a lot of fun.

Here are some snapshots with the whole family (minus my baby brother who was in North Carolina for track nationals...that kid is pretty dang fast!) at my cousins grad party beautifully decorated by my aunt. That woman is an incredible decorator, I felt like I was living inside pinterest the whole time I was there! (which is my dream come true)

Congratulations Patrick!!

Congratulations Class of 2013!!

Baby brother graduated high school!

I can't believe he's turning 18 next week and heading off to his college dorm in just a few short months. I'm so proud of him and all he's accomplished and even though he towers over me now he'll always be my baby brother.

They had a gorgeous day for the ceremony after it got bumped from the originally planned Friday night due to torrential rains. I even got a sunburn tan!! 

Plus, I got to reconnect with someone I went to high school (and middle school, and elementary school) with who now teaches at good ole Westford Academy. We went full circle and I got a  picture of him with my brother. He told some of his students that we graduated together and the "Woooaaahh" response we got made me feel super old. When did I get old enough for stuff like this?

Can't wait to visit you in college Andrew!! Better save some guest swipes at the cafe for me!
