Logan’s Grad party was so nice! It was held at their church’s Family Life Center. There is so much room, plus a huge kitchen, and lots of activities for the kids to do. I got there about 11:30 (I made good time) and helped Kelly get everything out of her car and mine. Then Matt set up the coolers and stacked the drinks inside, while Ma went for ice.
Kelly for sure has an army of ‘people’ around her — her PEOPLE. And that’s wonderful since I am too far away to be an everyday help. Aunt Kimmie helped set out the food, along with another lady that loves to help in the kitchen for anything. Her cookie trays were like artwork! I know Leann helped, and Shayla and Carrie were everywhere at once! Great ladies…
It took me about an hour to ice 400 cinnamon rolls – but they are my family’s favorites and a lot of people fussed over them. I sent a few home with Autmn and Nate and there were still lots left over – they were, obviously, made for Logan! But the cookies were beautiful!
Logan had a Harry Potter cap – I wouldn’t have known had I not been told!
And there was also a journal Bible on the table by the card box. Everyone was to highlight their favorite verse for him and write a little word of advise in the journal margin. My favorite for him was I Corinthians 2:9. I clung to that verse many times when I lost sight of my blessings!
They had bunches of cupcakes that Carrie made, chips with about 5 different dips, and lots of veggies and a cheese and crackers charcuterie board.
Nate got there about 3pm or so, and then Autmn, Noah and Cameron came about 3:30. I got to meet Logan’s and Chase’s special friends, plus a lot of the people Kelly talks a lot about.
I got to meet Chloe, Clairese, Craig, and a bunch of others.
There was another party in the center at 6pm so that gave us an hour to clean up and exit the space. I stayed until everything was ready for the next group. Logan was moving his party upstairs to the ‘Upper Room’ to play table games and video games, eat more snacks, and order pizza with his closest friends. I’m sure they had a great time extending the party.
I got home about 7:10pm and got everything cleaned up and put away. That’s enough time to unwind and get organized for Sunday. And I found this crazy quote that I’m sure Jen would love!
Scripture of the Day:
PEANUTS?
TOMORROW June 1st is:
National Olive Day; National Game Show Day; Wear a Dress Day; Dare Day; Don’t Give up the Ship Day; Flip A Coin Day; Say Something Nice Day; Global Day of Parents; Oscar the Grouch Day; National Barefoot Day; National Pen Pal Day; National Billboard Day; National Nail Polish Day; National Hazelnut Cake Day.
I’m not much for olives or nail polish. I can surely find something nice to say and not be an Oscar the Grouch. Have a happy June 1st! God bless…
