Anna's Graduation Weekend

Anna graduated from high school Sunday afternoon.  Throughout the weekend we had family gatherings and celebrations.  Uncle Charles and Aunt Ilene were able to come down from Iowa to join us.  Uncle Mitch and Aunt Janice were planning to come but had medical issues which prevented them from doing so.  We are still thinking of them and hoping they are doing better.  Even James was able to get a 3 day pass to come home for the weekend.  I know that was the perfect graduation gift for Anna (and for Julie!).

Saturday evening we also celebrated Arayna's birthday with a family dinner and birthday cake.  :)  Sunday morning we met for breakfast at 1000 Hills Lake restaurant - yummy!  We all attended church with Anna at First Presbyterian where they honored Anna as a high school grad.  The graduation itself was held in Pershing building at Truman and BOY, was it HOT!  Goodness!  Afterward we wandered around Truman campus taking photos and enjoying the light breeze (even though the temps were still hot and humid.)  Sunday night we had a lovely dinner with Charles and Ilene.

Here are some photos from Anna's big weekend.  You can see a full album of photos here.
