Illinois has a crazy tradition where you host an open house for high school graduates. So, as not to ruffle feathers, we gave in and had quite a little party. We may as well have had a wedding reception. That is what it felt like. You invite your neighbors, friends, and church. We had well over 100 people and had a taco bar and dessert bar. People give money to the graduate and Allyson was able to put a good sum into her college account. It was a fun night, thanks to friends who ran the kitchen for me so that I could host.
Allyson with just one of her tables at her shrine. Hee Hee.
They put out different things from their life. This is her very outdated scrapbook from when she was younger and we got mocked the entire night by people. Very funny.
Everyone signed a cute frame. Told you it was like a wedding.
The loot basket.
The proud graduate amongst her actual shrine. Notice the pictures I hung on the entertainment center of each year of her life. Everyone loved seeing these and laughing at her. Ha Ha.
Looks like quite the party!! I love the cute idea to hang up all her pictures from growing up, that would be fun to look at. I am glad she made out like a bandit, she deserves it. Oh, she also looks very cute in her pictures :). It is so fun having her in Utah!
