How Many Pictures Can I Take During One Event?

Before the Party
Today was Megan's graduation Open House.  We had a two hour party and 17,983 people showed up.

Ava got ready using the same hairdresser Makayla uses.

The two year olds--Krew and Chase--came ready for fun.

We sliced, diced, rolled, stabbed, cut, mixed, scooped, folded, cooked, cooled, arranged, and then we really got to work.

The cousins worked hard to burn off some energy.

Caden and Krew guarding the cooler.

Kailyn thought the table looked a bit plain. She suggested curling little bits of ribbon and sprinkling them on the table with Jordan.  It looked really cute.

Did I mention how we sliced, diced, rolled, stabbed, cut, mixed, scooped, folded, cooked, cooled, arranged, and then we really got to work?

The twins-- Ashley and Ava.

The party food (and lunch, dinner, snacks, and, um, breakfast).

During the Party
Let me just say, none of us had any idea Megan knew so many people.

They just kept coming

and eating

and coming

I believe everyone in Megan's graduation class showed up.

Suddenly I understand why Megan is always too busy to do homework.

I found someone scary to do crowd control.

Some people thought the party got a little boring.

The honoree.

After the Party
Hailey gives free belly rubs.

This sign has been around for awhile.  It officially retires today.

More bored party guests.

Cousins carefully coloring cards for Megan.



Cousin bonding time.

McKay was, hands down, the most popular Uncle here today. Never mind that he was the only Uncle here, he was still the most popular.

More two year old cousins.

Poor Krew could not stop bumping and falling and bruising. Note the bruise on his right forehead, the scratch on his left forehead, and the bruise over his left eye.  That represents three separate traumatic events.

It was such a spectacular graduation weekend. The food looks so yummy. At one of the NYC venues I had also thrown a stunning surprise graduation party for my cousin and it turned out to be a blast. Everything was arranged wonderfully and on a budget!
