The Smiths have all graduated!!

After our blissful week in Maui, it seems like graduation was a month ago... but it was only a little more than a week ago.

Scott, Jess, and Cat all graduated from BYU this Spring. We are so proud of them and are excited about the adventures they have ahead.

All three of them walked together and it was cute because they announced "Scott Smith, graduating with his sister Jessica Smith and wife Cat Peers Smith" (or something like that). I was the official family photographer at the Marriott Center, so I got to be the first to congratulate them.


I am glad we are done with graduation ceremonies for awhile. This one was a LONG one. Fortunately, Shari and Andrew played together at her house, so I didn't have to bring him along!


The best part of the graduation came afterwards... PARTY! My mom always throws great parties and makes the best food.

Cute Scott & Jess- last of the Smith kids to graduate! Woohoo!

I am still salivating thinking about all the desserts and yummy food from the party. Here are several of the things we had...

Brownie trifle- best thing ever! I am going to make this again soon!

Obligatory cake for the Grads

Cheesecake w/ raspberries

Cute little desserts from Kneaders

Bruschetta

Spinach dip

Cupcakes from the Sweet Tooth Fairy

My mom also made all the grads the cutest tied BYU fleece blankets. She slaved hard over them into late hours of the night since Scott, Cat, & Jess are always dropping by and made it tricky for her to keep them a surprise.


At the party, Andrew had fun playing ping pong with Scott and Henry (my cousin). He also bugged all of Jessie's guy friends and played basketball and pool with them.


Jessie had a load of friends come over for the party. I managed to snag a pic of her with a few of them. Isn't she the prettiest graduate ever?!



We also attempted a family picture. This was the best we could get (at least on my camera).


Aunt Jessie had a good time trying to pose with the little guys... they were a little uncooperative. :)

After eating tons of good food and hanging out with the family and friends that came to celebrate Jess, Cat, & Scott's graduation... we started packing for our trip to MAUI! What a great way to celebrate this momentous occasion! More posts to come soon...
