Graduation '09

So it was the college graduation of CHB's stepdaughter Amber. She just completed the nursing program at our local college and we had to celebrate!

Dave and Sue, CHB's parents, housed the party at their house:

The day turned out to be sunny after all: CHB and I had shoved the kids out to the backyard at her parent's place to set up lawn chairs and the volleyball net.













As you can see, the boys were working WAY harder than the girls!! CHB and I were in the kitchen with her mom, Sue, setting up the remainder of the food and all the fixings. Dave was out getting the grill ready for the hamburgers and hotdogs. We were all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the graduate!

Along with her came her significant other, Lot, her mother and grandmother.














Time to eat:

























What a spread! Of course I am highlighting the watermelon baskets I made........ toot toot goes my horn! (Anything for CHB!)

The kids had a great time with the volleyball and generally running around:

Good food, great company:

Great Grandma time.

Cookies. Need I say more?

Congrats Amber! Everyone is so proud of you!
