Congratulations Graduate!

My baby has graduated! 

 It is hard to believe that

our youngest of five is a high school graduate and

will be leaving us for college in the fall.

This one is just too funny with Mom and Dad giving him

a kiss on the cheek.  I just love the look on his face!!

Graduation was unusual as it was at 7:00 pm so that by the time

we got out and could take pictures it was dark.

The surprise of the evening was that he was in charge of

the senior class video and his name was on the program

and announced during the evening for his creative work

on that.  The video was great.

We made him a money lei with a few food gift certificates

thrown in.  He and his dad are leaving for a trip to

Israel and Jordan

for his senior trip in a couple of days.  

It will be a wonderful experience for them. 

Since he graduated so late, we took him out to dinner for

sushi that night and had a combined dinner with his cousin for

him the next night.  I was asked to bring a fruit platter so I made

one similar to the one my graduate from culinary arts school

made a little while ago.  She was supposed to help but didn't

get off work until too late.  I found the cute little candy diplomas

and graduation caps at a local party store - Zurchers.

So with several graduations and a new grandbaby and

travel  two building projects and another grandbaby due 

three weeks from today

things have been hopping at Purple Chocolat Home.

I am so glad you came to visit today.  I have been so busy

that I totally missed celebrating my two year anniversary of

blogging on May 20th.

  I have loved it and everyone has been so supportive!

Thank you!!!
