Weekend of Celebration!
We had a weekend of celebrating this weekend! Friday night was Dan's 25th birthday! Happy Birthday Dan!!! We went to dinner at Basil and then came back to our apartment to hang out, have a few drinks and play Mario Party. Unfortunately, there weren't enough controllers for everyone, so the girls (Liz, Kris, and I) cut veggies for my sister's graduation party and then watched them...shortly thereafter, we all fell asleep. Poor Liz had the misfortune of falling asleep on the couch, while Kris and I fell asleep on Seymen's bed, watching a movie. (Click here for more pictures)
The next morning, Seymen and I woke up bright and early and drove to Buffalo, to pick up my Uncle as a surprise present to my sister. The graduation was lovely. Chrissy finally has her master's degree (and won't let anyone in the family forget either ;-)))). She graduated with honors, in the national honors society, as well as received two awards! CONGRATS CHRISSY!!! (Click here for Pictures!)
Right after the ceremony, Seymen and I rushed over to her apartment and set up the food and drinks. We were the "catering" service :-) It was really a nice get together, with my ENTIRE family...and when I saw entire family, I mean both my mom's side and my dad's side. Everything went as well as hoped, and there was even a break in the rain for some lovely graduation pictures...starring...My sister with the Master's Degree ;-)
Today, for Mother's day...we spent the entire day at my mom's. Chrissy had a small graduation party at my mom's which included an all day BBQ. We also celebrated Mother's day, and my mom did a little cake ceremony for my birthday since Chrissy (My sister with a master's degree...and I have to keep saying that until Midnight tonight when the celebration is offically allowed to switch over to me...for my birthday "rest of the month") and I will be in Ohio on mine and my mom's b-day.
We all had a nice time, relaxed, drank some beers and champange, and ATE...ALLL DAY LONGGGGG. I think I ate a pound of cheese dip. I will definitly be including the gym at 7AM Monday morning after this glutton fest of food. As an added bonus, so as to not leave the Peak-a-nator out...I have included a picture of her nose too...seeing, she was the like of the party...and I just LOVE her's and Bayley's noses...I got some good shots.
To end off the night...I was able to watch Desperate Housewives with my Grandma. Bill tried to watch, but he only made it through the first commercial break, before he threw up his hands in desperation and walked away. Grandma and I are PSYCHED because next week is a 2 hour episode :-)
