Graduation from Hogwarts!

If you know my daughter Karley, you know she is a huge Harry Potter fan!  You know I've been working on some artwork for her party!  Well, the time is finally here.  We jumped in the car and headed to Minnesota for Karley's graduation party.  8 hours in the car!  But first!  On Friday night, we grabbed Karley and went out for our own little private celebration at the Ground Round.  It was fun and Grandpa only offended the waitress once so that's good!  ha ha!!

  And then it's Saturday and time to decorate for the Harry Potter themed party!  Everybody was busy with the floating candles, the pumpkin juice, the continuous Harry Potter movies playing...  It really was a cute party!

Before the party, we gave Karley her present from us...  It's never a surprise.  We gave all three the same thing, a really nice laptop for college.   Karley loved her present!  :-)

So once the party got rolling, there were a lot of people there we didn't know but that's pretty normal for us so we just hung with Kelsey and Kasey and Brent for most of the afternoon.  It rained a little but there were NO MOSQUITOES!!!  Awesome!!  If you've ever been to northern Minnesota in the summertime, you know what I'm referring to!  :-)

It was a really fun party.  Karley's idea of a Harry Potter theme party was super cute and we all really enjoyed ourselves.  Can't believe my little Karl has graduated from high school!  I'm so old I'll be pushing daisies soon!  I better get back to working on that bucket list I had at one time.  :-)
