Today we (and other families) threw a party for Sarah and all the graduating seniors from our ward.  We were really worried at first because we couldn’t find a place to hold it.  We looked all over and finally ended up asking the Anderson family (who’s house is still up for sale in Naperville) if we could have it there.  They said it would be a GREAT idea and the party turned out AWESOME!  We had about 150-200 people show up for the party/open house.  We had a nacho bar and desserts for all.

Everyone had a great time!  I compiled a DVD of pictures of the graduates and put together a little “shrine” with video going for the grads that everyone liked.  It was fun to watch the facial expressions of people as they watched the slideshow depicting the kids from babies all the way up to now.  🙂  We got a ton of pictures and had a bunch of great laughs with everyone who came.

After the party was over and we cleaned everything up, we went to another party for one of Sarah’s friends, Mary Kate Carroll.  She was the Drum Major at Metea in the marching band.  We’ll miss the Carrolls next year as they are all done and will now be empty nesters when Mary Kate goes off to college.  🙂
