I needed another post to document all the fun with friends and family on Jack's graduation weekend! On Friday night, I got together with three other mom's to host a party for Jack and his best friends. We had a nacho bar, as well as cupcakes and this ginormous cookie cake!
Michael and I call this group of guys the squad. They have been friends since elementary school and best buddies since 6th grade. I'm so thankful for their friendship with Jack.
The wind was insane this evening, and our balloon garland barely hung on to the attachments. On a side note, it is so funny to see the difference between a guys' party and party hosted by a girl. I saw so many Instagram photos of beautiful poses against photo backdrops from girls. At our party, the kids just swam and ate and talked. I don't think anyone took any pictures and I had to twist some arms just to get these posed pictures. Ha, ha!
Holly had lots of photos printed and put them up all over the kitchen cabinets.
Another mom made some posters with photos for the food buffet area.
In the meantime, Wes and Suzette arrived from Dallas. Albie absolutely loves Wes!
While Jack had his party with friends, Wes and Suzette took Grace out for a nice dinner.
She left early the next morning for Pittsburgh. She is loving her research program so far!
On Saturday after we took Grace to the airport, we took Jack and Kaitlyn out to lunch. After that, Jack went to many, many graduation parties while I got ready for the family party on Sunday.
We had family over for lunch on Sunday and then headed to the stadium for graduation that evening.

After graduation, Jack went to the Project Grad party. This is an all-night lock-in party. He said it was lots of fun, but very loud! Needless to say, he was worn out when he got home at 5am Monday!
And that's a wrap on graduation weekend!
Gabbie said she wants to have a joint graduation party with her friend but I'm not really friends with her mom! It would be better if there was someone I was close with too. It's nice you were able to do this and the party looks nice!
ReplyDeleteso fun! I had a grad party/open house with two of my best friends when I graduated high school. The difference in boy/girl parties...so true!
