Graduation Party and Senior Sunday

Clare's senior year has been full of many events that I don't want to forget.  In an effort to keep pictures in one place, I'm going to update here.  Even though I've missed over a year, I'll pick up now!
May began with two big senior events...Clare's graduation party and Senior Sunday at church!

We hosted Clare's grad party with three of her closest friends, Audrea, Kylie and Sutton.  It was great to do it with friends, and to do it early in May!



Each girl had their own table decorated with personal pictures and future college plans.



We were joined by friends and family, and a good time was had by all!!  There were people from church, our neighborhood, school and work.  It was so special to see so many people there to celebrate the girls.









Senior Sunday at church is a memory that I will keep with me forever.  Clare was so excited for this special service that the seniors were in charge of.  Greenville Oaks student ministry holds a special place in heart, and she was thankful to have the opportunity to speak!  Clare is a great public speaker and she did an amazing job.  She made it through without becoming a puddle of tears, which was a big win!




Here is a link to watch the service:  




She didn't get super emotional until the crowd gave a standing ovation for the class of 2024!

There was a reception between services and each senior had their own table.  It was fun to decorate Clare's spot.  All of the grandparents attended and we even got Jennifer for the weekend!




These two girls (and Graham) have been troopers this month.  Most of the attention has revolved around Clare, but they have shown up and helped celebrate every step of the way.  Makes me proud!

Having these two events in the same weekend was a perfect way to kick off the crazy month of May.  I am thankful to all of those who attended and helped celebrate my graduate!
