Graduation candy and money lei

August 7, 2010

Today, I witnessed my son receiving his master’s degree.  It was an emotional time for me…. more so than even high school! I’m not sure why…  Here are a few pictures of Chris and Nancy. My mom and I made a celebration money lei for him with dollar bills, candy kisses and ribbon. I originally saw the idea on the blog-Home based parties- and thought it was so cute! We added colored ribbon to tie in the school colors and used paint markers to write the school letters and 2010.

 

This is funny!!!
