CHAD'S GRADUATION PARTY

The day was perfect! The balloons were blown and set out......

Chad and Brandon made guacamole dip.....(even though they both hate guacamole, they made a mean guac!!)

The guests all arrived on time.......and it was time to celebrate and eat!!!!!!

And just when we thought we couldn't eat anymore......it was time to cut the cake!!!

We decided to put just the letters CONGRATS on the cake......so we played scrabble with the remaining letters! We could only come up with TUNA......not realizing that we had left out the A in CONGRTS! LOL! Oh well......it was yummy anyway! :o)

There was still so much food left...........

Chad opened gifts......he LOVED everything....especially his very own iron from Erin! He said it made him look older and wiser. LOL

Yes, we made him wear his bows!!!!

Mom said it was "pina colada time!"........so she made'em! (only for those over 21, of course!)

I hear they were pretty mean drinks!!!

Dad couldn't wait to get his.....

We all headed outside to lounge around, play horseshoes and listen to Brandon & Chad play their guitars. It was an amazing evening......it was the perfect summer breeze type of evening.....

Jordan had a great time running all over the yard!

We all admired Chris & Kim's new car! :o)

Brandon & Chad serenaded us.......great tunes!!!!! We even got to hear Justin Timberlake's, "I'm bringing sexy back"! What more could we have possibly wanted! LOL!

Dad and Fred just kicking back......like I said.....it was a nice evening.

Donato & Chris' horseshoes game seemed to never end.....

So......the guys all started gathering around......to pressure them into finishing their game and sharing the horseshoes!!

It didn't seem to make them go any faster.....surprise, surprise....

Fred & Al finally got a chance to play a game......Fred won.

Chris & Freddy played one last game before the night settled in.....

Freddy won. So Chris sat and sulked after losing horseshoes to Freddy.....

Freddy came to kiss and make-up. :o)

All in all......the entire afternoon and evening was amazing! Thank you to everyone for coming out and being a part of Chad's special day!
