Graduation Party

May 9th - Saturday - Michelle's Graduation Party

This was the highlight of Michelle's Party.  Susie made Michelle a quilt from Michelle's grandpa's shirts.  Michelle was very close to her "Pa" and this was a very special present for her.  On the back she made a special label and included a picture of Michelle and Al.  I will include a picture of the label, but it will be upside down, as we can't figure out how to make it correct on the blog, even if we make it correct on the camera.

Isn't this very special?

Nothing else that she was given could compare to this very special loving gift.  She did receive some lovely things.  Luggage, money, jewelry, pen, books, gifts cards and a television.  It was a perfect day to have an outside party and her folks and grandparents did a nice job getting everything done up nicely.

A picture  that shows the cake and cookies that Krista made  notice the graduation cap cookies with tassels. 

Some of the folks attending the party.

It was a perfect day for a  picnic.

Krista calls this their maple grove.

Michelle was so pleased that so many of her family were able to come to her party and wish her well, after her years of study.  A good job finally accomplished!!
