She Graduated!!!

It seems like a whole year just flew by in a few moments last night as Jenna graduated from High School. We have been planning all year for graduation and then all of a sudden I just wanted to slow time and make the evening last as long as possible.

We all got ready and before we left for dinner, she opened a few family gifts...

Auntie Tina and Uncle Terrell gave her a beautiful Brighton bracelet

Uncle Robby and Auntie Joanna gave her this really cool watch

And Dave and I gave her the diamond earrings that my dad gave me when I graduated
Fun pictures with everyone!
We are soooooo happy that Grandma and Grandpa made it in.

Becca, Jen and Coya...all dressed up and ready to go

Proud parents

Wow, what a great time that was! I feel so nostalgic this a.m.. I looked through Kelsey's pics again and went looking to see if you or Robynn had posted. Thanks for posting! I really should blog or facebook or something! I can't believe our girls are done. You had said you were feeling melancholy last week and I really wasn't. Well, it has caught up with me, I'll try and pull myself together by the time we get to Jen's party! We're looking forward to it and I'm actually really glad the parties continue throughout the month! love you
