Big Weekend in the Big D

We had a great trip to Dallas last weekend to celebrate Kyle's high school graduation.  Congratulations, Kyle!  It was such a fun weekend and K and I are so proud of Kyle - his accomplishments at ESD, his acceptance to SMU, and most of all the godly man he has become.  If there was ever a high schooler that deserved to be celebrated, it is Kyle.  And celebrate we did!

Saturday night Kathryn and David hosted a fabulous graduation party for Kyle.  The menu featured all of Kyle's favorites - tenderloin and turkey sliders, spinach and artichoke dip, five cheese macaroni and cheese, grilled vegetables, and a "pizza bar."  Kathryn made all of the food herself (with the help of the family) and for dessert we had an assortment of homemade cookies prepared by family and friends and my personal favorite Pacuigo!  Here are a few shots of Kyle's party.

In the front of the house,  the balloon arch, pennants and sign were meant to celebrate Kyle's history at ESD.

Aren't these pennants a fun idea?  

The balloons had LED lights inside, so the driveway was lined with lights once the sun set.

The rest of the house was decorated to celebrate Kyle's future at SMU.  Go ponies!

And because we love Kyle (and can't say no to Kathryn), Kristen and I baked and iced about 150 graduation cap sugar cookies.  Thanks for your help Ashley!

Congrats, Kyle!  We are so very proud of you!
