Carissa's Graduation Party

Well, Carissa's graduation party was last Saturday. It was a wonderful day, despite the wee bit of rain we got during the cutting of the cake (you know, just enough to get you wet and cold). We had a great turn out, as you will see by the pictures. These are just some snapshots, as some of us found ourselves extremely busy fooling around (ahem), I mean, entertaining the guests :). Here are a few of my favorites.


Arranging flowers for the center of the tables. Many hands make light work! And in the background is my totally unfazed mother taking a picture:)
( Carissa is the lovely young lady in the white coat.)
The finished product. Charming.


Daddy, figuring out just how many slow cookers he can plug in without blowing the circuit.

Carissa's corner. Bits and pieces of, well, Carissa! This was also the crying corner.

Thank goodness for kitchen help! We couldn't have done it without them.


More helping hands.

Lots of guests. I believe that we were receiving instructions for lunch.

Let's eat!

Just horsen' around. If you look really closely, you can see rain falling in the back ground. Fortunately, this did not dampen every one's fun!

Dear friends, good food, and Christian fellowship. What more could one want?

Chris and mystery man.

Congratulations Carissa! We love you!

  1. What's this? I'm not in a single picture! What's more, there isn't a single picture of the Ultimate game! Who was taking pictures, how could they miss this??? I guess Jordan got it right, you have sit around at tables smiling and looking photogenic if you want your picture taken. :-) I'll remember that...

  2. Marshall,

    I so would have taken your picture if I could have caught you! As for the ultimate frisbee game, all of the designated picture takers were playing. You might consider hiring a professional photographer...
    Hope we see you guys soon!!!
