A Weekend to Celebrate

He did it! See that big smile? Andrew is officially a graduate of the Master's Seminary! 5 long years of hard work have come to an end... we celebrated his last day of school assignments with a trip to the yogurt shop :)

Then family came in town for the graduation ceremony and parties.  

We are so grateful to the Lord for all that He has taught us; He is so faithful and good !

Weston and Grandpa bonded over bulldozers and helicopters. Here Weston is getting a bulldozer demonstration on the IPad. 

Saturday we had a small intimate party at the house with those who have been with us on this journey from the beginning. Then in the evening we went to a banquet hosted by the seminary for the graduates and their families. We went with our parents- a rare treat- while the kiddos stayed home with Auntie and Uncle. The dinner was so delicious and the senior testimonies were awesome to hear. 

Love this pic of my parents

Sunday was a full day! Mother's Day, Andrew preached, then we got ready for the ceremony and after party that night.

Here is the seminary choir singing at the beginning of the ceremony. 

It was so wonderful to hear Andrew's name being called from the list of names this year! We have seen a few graduations and have dreamed of this day! He graduated with a Masters of Divinity

After the ceremony we headed to the basement to celebrate with two other graduates ( Chance and Robert) and their families and friends. Thanks to everyone who helped with food and decorations!

Since Sunday was so busy we celebrated Mother's Day properly on Monday with a brunch tea party in the back yard. We are hardly ever together with our extended family on Mother's Day so this was very special!

I love these little boys so much and am so happy to be their momma!

All the mommas together
