JC's Graduation and Party

JC graduated from high school and seminary on Thursday, May 23.

Me, JC (when did he get so tall??), and Craig.

Curt, JC, Lisa, Cole, and Sarah. 

Nine hundred kids graduated and the graduation took place in the University of Denver ice hockey arena. Needless to say, my photos did not turn out well - our seats were way up near the top of the arena.

Friday there was a joint party with seven other graduates from church at a local clubhouse.

The graduates' kindergarten pictures were posted for us all to see.

Todd's dad, Pat, put them on posts after Sarah made the pictures and put them into plastic sleeves to protect them.

Cole, me, and Craig.

Matchey, matchey Aunt Lisa and Cambria! (With Cole in the background.)

There were not enough seats for everyone so we spread out on the playground.

Cole, Curt, Titan, Andrew, Jessica, Cambria, Lukie, and Lisa.

All eight graduates made shoeboxes for cards from well wishers.

I was so touched when I saw that, instead of a shoebox, JC had used a trinket box that he'd made with me one summer at Groompa Camp.

He kept it all these years!

An award that JC won his junior year - Most Valuable Lineman on the football team!

After JC's graduation on Thursday and the party on Friday, next up was Trinity's baptism on Saturday morning.
