We all had a fantastic time at Chelsea's Graduation Party....once it finally got under-way.
We were really afraid we would NEVER get everything done. I spent a huge amount of {wasted} time trying to decorate the outside of the house...not realizing it would be 95 degrees out there today. Needless to say, most of those decorations were seen by only a hand full of people. I literally got in the shower at 12:45, and the party started at 1:00! It was extremely hectic, but we managed to get almost everything done. There was a mad flurry of activity in the first 20-or-so minutes of the party, but after that, everything went smoothly.
Chelsea had a great time, and that's really all that matters in the long run.
Now on to the thousands tons of pictures!
