Max's Graduation Party

It takes a village to bring up our children and last night the village came to our house to celebrate Max.
Max's high school graduation party was last night.

It was a successful party because...
it didn't rain,
family and friends who love Max were there,
we had enough food, whew,
ShellaFlora did the flowers and they were stunning,
Hubby took the week off from work, 
we have a successful grad,
there was tons of reminiscing and laughing,
Aunt Jodi came in the morning and wrapped 10 cans of water chestnuts with bacon which saved my bacon,
Max's Uncle John, Aunt Cherie and Aunt Laura drove for hours to be at his party,
Karen baked Max's most favorite almond cookies,
Elea offered to take my camera and get some shots, thank goodness or there wouldn't have been any pics,
Max's Mama didn't fall over,
Grandpa and Grandma from George came and spent the day,
there were tons of one biter brownies leftover which makes the Grad very happy, I assumed everyone ate a dozen because the Grad did while I was baking them,
there was a hen house and a dads' beer garden,
and mostly importantly...
the Grad was very, very happy!
