Well, our weekend started with baccalaureate. Jacob had had his allergy testing earlier that day, and honestly he was not up to being up late that night. Fortunately, Jason offered to stay home with Jacob and Julianna which was wonderful! I don't have any pictures from baccalaureate, but it was very, very nice.
Saturday, we spent the day getting ready for the party. At 6:00 we could get into the site where the party was, and we started doing some simple decorating.

I love the way their cake turned out.
As neat as it looks, it tasted ten times better. Yum!
Even though I'm awful at pictures and organizing,
Rebekah managed to pull together a wonderful picture display.
Rebekah and Jason's first band director came to the party.
This is her private lesson teacher. He was a year ahead of Jason.
We've been so truly blessed that he taught Rebekah.
She'll definitely miss him.
I love this shot. Unfortunately, Lori was sick, so she and Lily stayed behind.
Some of Rebekah's favorite teacher's came...
and friends, of course.
Sunday brought graduation.
It was wonderful.
Rebekah earned the 4.0 stole, the honors diploma, NHS cord, the thespian cord and a band distinction on her diploma. Very, very proud.
Her speakers were Claire and Susannah Shipman!!!
They were wonderful and I'm a huge fan of Claire's.
They graduated from our high school.
Rebekah's private lesson's teacher gave her her diploma...
and a big hug. :)
It was a wonderful weekend, and much to my relief it was not the emotional gauntlet I was fearing. Yes, I cried, but it was appropriate proud, bittersweet mommy tears and not out of control sobbing. I guess when Jason graduated and I was pregnant the hormones really wreaked havoc with my emotions.
I'm so proud of my girl and I can't wait to see what's next for her.

Great pictures.
Congratulations to Rebekah and the whole family! Lovely cake and great family photos. And yay you for not doing the embarrassing cry--phew! (I cried today at the kindergarten program so I am already dreading graduation waterworks!)
It looks like your graduation weekend was a success too!! I wasn't emotional at the party or at the ceremony, I must have processed it all and cried all my tears so often before that I was finally ready to just do the thing!! Congrats to Rebekah too!!
Congratulations! How exciting!!
I don't want to even think of my daughter graduating. ugh! LOL! :D
Have a great day!

Congratulations! The photo of Rebekah in her cap and gown is breathtaking. What a weekend!
congrats to Rebekah on all her accomplishments! What exciting times!
Wow and yeah for Rebekah. My brother's high school graduation didn't go well at all. I ended up taking the wrong grad's shaking the principal's hand and receiving the diploma because I was sitting so far away and then I got sick during dinner.
Congrats to her! i cant imagine how proud you must be as a mama.
