Grandparents are Special

So I am still behind...this is for Friday!

Friday was the Grandparents Reception at St. Francis for the second graders. This gives them a chance to show off their class and their work before the Sacrament of First Eucahrist. Danny had to settle for me since my mom was sick and Brandon's mom had her graduation, but he liked showing off everything. Danny's Aunt Rita was their, Isabella is in his class so she came to be there for her, and she let Danny spend time with her. Which was fine with him. He loves Rita, as we all do! It was so nice. Mrs. Hayes and the students have been working hard getting ready for this day and for their First Eucharist. You could tell too. The parents all did an amazing job putting the reception together, especially Ashley Hill and Tonya Balducci. You two are amazing! I even got several ideas for upcoming showers and parties I am having!

After cleanup was over we rushed home to get Brandon and John Michael and head to Hanceville for Meme's (Brandon's Mom) Graduation. It was great to be there for her. It was a very nice ceremony and one that was full of stories that had me in tears. The boys were pretty well behaved, which is a plus because it is not easy to sit and wait for 2 hours, but they did it and I was so proud.

After the ceremony we had to head home because we needed to get the boys ready for bed. First Eucharist is in the morning and I did not want a fight getting ready. We hated to miss going to dinner, but we needed to get home.

It was a great Friday!
