We had great reason to celebrate this weekend! Cousin Chris graduated with a degree in elementary education. He's going to be a great elementary school teacher or special educator, but we are going to miss having him around. It's been so fun to have him around for the past four years. The kids have basically grown up seeing him fairly regularly.
Since tickets to the main event were limited, we watched from an auditorium nearby:
But the kids didn't quite make it through the 2 hour and 45 minute ceremony, so they took a break to bike, but made it back right when the sun came out and the ceremony was ending:
His family was really proud of him and we were so excited to see everyone!
We'll miss you Chris, but we know you'll make a difference wherever you end up.
And one of the benefits of having a big family event, was getting to spend time with Nana and Grandpa. Even if for only one night, the kids LOVED having them around.
