{phfr} Graduation Style

Had to, had to, had to post this for {phfr} though it has essentially nothing to do with domesticity.

Pretty

I know, it's flowers...flowers are pretty.  My best friend's brother (my adoptive brother) gave me this as a surprise after my graduation from OU and made me feel special.



Happy

My niece, Lucy, was a bit overwhelmed by all the people and noise and a wee bit tired, but I got my hug and later she and I danced.



Funny

My badge of honor at my party, given and improved by my sister-in-law, Jessie.  She also painted my graduation cap of awesomeness below.



I received several compliments for my Tangled cap, and friends and family were able to find me!  She So Crafty eyeballed the star for me.



This really happened, it wasn't a dream...This really happened, it wasn't a dream...
