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!!!
