Graduation

We attended Justin's graduation reception at the University of Oklahoma last night. The reception was very nice and it included about 30 graduates from the College of Engineering. It was a short and sweet ceremony, which was nice because Spencer wanted to sit with daddy, but couldn't.
Madison looked so nice last night. She was sitting snacking on the good food and waiting for the presentation to begin.

What a great picture of Spencer. This was the ONLY picture of him that he sat still long enough for me to take. He was constantly moving and squirming. When the presentation started, he was not a happy camper. He could see Justin sitting amongst the other graduates and that is where he wanted to sit. I ended up walking around and bouncing him most of the presentation.

Madison took over the camera since I was busy with Spencer. She did a good job considering that there were many taller people standing in her way. This is Justin accepting his degree from the Dean.

Justin's cap and gown were easy to get on, but trying to figure out how to put on the yellow sash was not so easy. We had to enlist the help of our friend Shyla, who graduated from law school in May. Thanks so much Shyla!

As you can see, Spencer was not in the mood for picture taking.

We celebrated with tons of food:

• little smokies
• BBQ meatballs
• cream puffs
• cheesecake
• cookies
• cake (yummy cake made by our friend Leslie)
• red velvet cake balls (delish - made by our friend Emily)
• chocolate fountain with lots of yummies to dip
• veggie, meat and fruit trays
• great wine and other adult beverages

We enjoyed the feast and sharing it with great friends and co-workers.

Some of the truly great friends that joined us, Clay, Shyla, Becky and Leslie. There were many others that attended and we truly appreciated everyone who came or stopped by.

It was a great night had be all. We are sooooooo very blessed to have such a great set of family and friends to support us. Justin deserved a great party and I have to say, I think he got one.
