Eli's Graduation

I'm a little behind on posting about Eli's graduation that occurred last Saturday! We had so much fun with all of our family who came to show their support! Everyone arrived on Friday! We ate dinner and then several of us went to the University of Idaho Holiday Concert--a traditional event that Eli and I have attended for the past three years!
On Saturday, we attended Eli's graduation! As you can see from the pictures below, he was SO excited! He worked really hard to earn his degree in Business! We are all so very proud of his accomplishments! Might I brag a little? He is a first generation college graduate!!!

Go Vandals!!!

Kappa Sigma Brothers! Eli and my dad!

After graduation and pictures everyone came over to our place where we enjoyed some yummy food, drank some wine, shared in a champagne toast, and played Catch Phrase!

Everyone was planning on leaving first thing Sunday morning, but as luck would have it, our first snow storm hit. The highway between Moscow and Lewiston was shut down. So, needless to say, everyone came back over that morning for breakfast! I can't lie, I was kind of happy the road got closed because I really didn't want everyone to leave...especially Amanda and Randy!

All in all, we had a lot of fun! Eli took all of his finals this last week and passed this semester with one of the highest GPA's of his college career!

Congrats Eli! I'm SO proud of you!
