Graduation!!

I had told everyone we had to leave at 4:30 for Xander's graduation. That meant "out the door and in the cars, driving down the driveway" leaving at 4:30. While waiting for the slow pokes of the family, I grabbed a few pictures.

Well, things were getting a little tense and Xander was worried that he was going to be late so decided to just drive himself. Thank goodness we were able to eventually get everyone out the door and on our way! His graduation was held at the University of Dayton arena, the perfect place for the ceremony - there were plenty of seats, it didn't feel too crowded, and it was easy to see all the graduates. And it was a fabulous graduation!! The talks were really good...and short...and for there being over 400 graduates, I was amazed that they kept it to under an hour and a half.

So proud of my graduate!

It took a little time to find him in the parking lot - thank goodness for cell phones! I couldn't wait to give him a hug!

Love all the family love and support!

Picture time! Not the ideal backdrop but I guess that's life.

We stopped at BJ's on the way home to grab some pazookies. Unfortunately the wait was way too long so we headed over to Graters.

Time just flies! It's hard to believe that my little Xanderman has graduated high school! I'm excited to see where his next adventure takes him.
