We Did a Thing

Andrew graduated from NWTC in May with his degree as a Physical Therapy Assistant.  We're so proud of him for accomplishing this task.  He never really liked school outside of the socialization and athletics.  Cierra graduated with her Master's degree last summer and we never got around to giving her a party.  

Cierra wanted to throw a surprise party for Andrew and with her family coming for a visit and celebrating Eddie's birthday all in one weekend, I told her we would handle the party for Andrew.  What she didn't know was that the party was also for her.  

Invitations were printed and sent out and food was ordered.

I was with Edwina in Green Bay for her shoulder surgery all day so my children had to figure out how to set everything up and pick up the roast beef.  I got the cake from Costco on our way home.

Cierra took her family to Bay Beach and told us she would get back about 5:15.  We had everything ready when they arrived.  It was so fun seeing her face as she recognized that the party wasn't just for Andrew but also for her.  He was oblivious to what was going on.  

We had banners, food, friends and family, a bouncy house for the kids and lots of pictures.  It could not have gone any better.  I'm so proud of both of them for their wonderful accomplishments.  Cierra made a poster for Andrew and we had Sydney Wagner make a matching one for her.  I loved all of it.
