Caleb's Graduation Party

The cake

Part of the spread of food.  We had chips of all sorts, veges with dip,  cup up mixed fruit, assorted cookies that either I had made or other friends had made and cut up cheese and summer sausage.  My Dad bought some meatballs with Ragu sauce, those were super yummy.  For drinks we had water and assorted sodas to choose from.    The flowers were bought by my Mom, aren't they gorgeous?

Part of Caleb's Shrine.  This posterboard had all the picture from his entire life with the ages printed above them.  The framed picture to the left is the picture of Caleb's group from Philmont Boy Scout Camp, the bowl in front of that held the cards.  Over to the right is the picture of Caleb as a Drum major with all the other drum majors with him.  In front of the board is the school newspaper article that was written about Caleb and I put it in a sheet protector so everyone could read it.  Then there was his Graduation program and his cap with the tassel.

This poster board had all the pictures that are Caleb's favorite pictures from high school.  Then in front of that board were his National Director's award for Band and the National Director's award for Choir, his seminary graduation diploma, his Celebration Iowa program, the All State Award Certificate and the ISU Honor Choir certificate, on the wall are two band pictures from Freshman and Sophmore years and then an art project he did when he was little.

Caleb with Ryan Person, his Choir Director.

This picture shows tons of cupcakes I mad that I obviously shouldn't have since almost all of the 140 were left over today, so I brought an entire massive box to the church and let the youth group devour them.

A close up of the picture from his life.


I made this book for Caleb out of a composition notebook, this way his friends could sign it.


A Celebration Iowa poster that all his cast members signed that I framed.

One of Caleb's senior picture.

A better picture of the gift Bryn made.  I had just put it on the piano for everyone to enjoy.

Well, Michelle, you just had a dry run for a wedding -- minus a whole lot of other stress. :)
The food looks amazing. I wish we would have been able to be there.
He's so grown up now - I can't believe it.
Congratulations for pulling this off! It's not easy, that's for sure. The poster, awards and other pictures are great! You obviously put a lot of time and thought into this. Im sure Caleb was very
appreciative.

I told everyone to eat the green cupcakes because I made them.
