Graduation!



It's still a little weird to see Katelyn in her cap and gown and realize she is all done with high school.

Some cute memories from Saturday (graduation day):
  • Sheridan (our niece who is 7) leans over and whispers to her mom, Kim (Dave's sister), during the graduation ceremony "Oh no, Aunt Heather forgot her sunglasses."  Apparently, she had seen my Facebook post on Thursday where I talked about my little cryfest at the Senior Mother's Tea and I was worried about crying at graduation. I'm happy to report, no tears. Just all smiles for my sweet Kate and her accomplishments.
  • Sheridan making Katelyn a sweet graduation card and giving her a dollar.
  • Sheridan telling Katelyn "Well today you graduate from high school and in four years you'll be graduating from college."
  • Little Katie (she's five) from across the street giving Katelyn a handful of nickels for graduation.
  • Katelyn's face when she opened her present from Grandpa and Grandma Graham. She kept petting the pillow & has now added it to the collection of furry things she sleeps with.

Other awesome things:
  • Grandpa and Grandma Wight making the trip over from Bigfork to celebrate with us. We are blessed and lucky that they are healthy enough and close enough to come over for such special events.
  • Katelyn winning an iPad and iHome at the Senior Grad Night All-night Party. She also got the door prize she wanted...an electric tea kettle. That will be very handy while living in Rexburg.
  • Katelyn talking about how excited she is for her up-coming trip with Grandpa and Grandma Whiting.

All in all, despite the really crappy weather, it was a perfect day.
