At first, Jake didn't want to walk for graduation, but I thought since he's worked so hard, he should take full advantage with the big ceremony and get his diploma with all the hooplah that goes with it.
So Friday my mother-in-law, Jake and I trekked over to DVC for the ceremony. It was a mildly warm day which is a good switch from the cold rainy weather we've been experiencing lately. Jake went to the area where the graduates were supposed to go, and Lynn and I took our seats in the bleachers of the football "stadium".

Then it was time and we saw the graduating class walking towards the field
He's in there somewhere!
Jake was the only person wearing his favorite shoes...Converse! So I kept looking at people's feet to see where he was. Finally they sat down, and look where Jake sat...in full view! :)
Getting ready to go get that diploma
"That's right...Jake Smith...J-A-K-E"
"And...it's MINE!!! Muah-ha-ha-ha!!"
Freshly graduated
A proud mom...
And a proud wife!
The next day, I had a BBQ for anyone Jake wanted to invite. There were about 12 people and it was a really nice afternoon. Oh and for graduation...Jake got a Wii. And he's addicted. Seriously addicted.
Part of the fun is having Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. They didn't have the flavor Jake originally wanted, which was mint chip ice cream with chocolate cake, so we opted for cookies and cream with white cake. Yum!
Yummy cake
Congratulations Jake! I'm so proud of you!
