Practice...

This past Sunday, Mike and I hosted a graduation party. Now before you start concerning yourself over lost time, this was not a graduation party for any of the Nugent girls. That will happen soon enough, in a short 10 years. This was a graduation party for one of our high school friends at the church, TJ.
TJ and Mike were in charge of most of the planning and we had help from a lot of church friends and TJ's family with the food and set up/take down. The day turned out to be great. I think he had a lot of fun and he had a great turn out with beautiful weather (it started raining just as we took down the tents).

Our girls were enjoying Camp Cousin with grandma and papa Kelbert. They were disappointed that they missed TJ's party, but mom and dad were able to concentrate solely on entertaining.

We ended up with more than enough food.

TJ had a lot of friends supporting him.

Becky Jones graciously made an amazing tasting cake, with an edible picture of TJ on it.

All of the tents and chairs were borrowed from great friends. The decorations turned out perfect. There is a very funny story about me and the balloons at Kroger that involves a very nice employee of the grocery store.

This is the graduate with his friend Alyssa.

Thank you to all of our friends that helped us out with food, tables and chairs, tents and set up and take down. It made for a great party!
