I am absolutely shameless! I'm the mom who pirates photos and text from her daughter's blog to save time and effort on my own behalf. Yes...I am so guilty. But I did want to share about Erin and Elisabeth's beautiful graduation reception--so enjoy--courtesy of Erin. Of course, I did have to change a few words and pronouns since I'm not Erin and it needed to be in third person...or mama person! LOL

Chad and I also can't begin to express our gratitude towards my parents, Sis. Beth (see below), Sis. Kynnette, Sis. Lori, Jackie, and the Scott family and others for all you did to make this such a special day for the girls. Our hearts are full! We are also so grateful and humbled by everyone's kindness and generosity!

Erin and Elisabeth's Graduation Reception:

The Saturday that we had the reception was bright and sunny…a fact that we were grateful for since the reception was held outdoors in  my parent's backyard/garden. They put so much hard work and time into their yards and also into the party…thank y’all!!

The tables and chairs awaiting guests. :)

The food table (um, without the food just yet) and the old fashioned popcorn popper!

A close-up of the napkins…

 And finally…the cake!! Isn’t it beautiful? Sis. Beth’s sister, Rachel, made it and she and Bro. John and Sis. Wanda gave it to Elisabeth and Erin as a graduation present…I call that quite a delicious gift! :) Thank you!

Guests beginning to arrive. That's me in the royal blue shirt in the back standing beside Chad in the light blue shirt. We are the blessed parents of the special graduates!!!!

Wesley, you just look so right holding that pink napkin! LOL

Chad and our little niece, Cooper.

  And here is the incredibly talented Sis. Beth…I can’t say enough of how much she did for this reception! Planning, organizing, traveling, cooking, and so much more!Thank you and Bro. Jabin so much!! *Hugs* (From Amy...words cannot begin to express my heart! You are the best!)

And on that note, thanks to EVERYONE who made this graduation reception so special…a list of all of you would be an entire blog post in itself! :) We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who care so much!

Thanks for coming! :D

We shall be going to the beach this weekend, so Elisabeth and Erin will get to spend their 18th B-day (yep, June 5th is almost here!) with lots of fun in the sun…ooh, 18, they just love saying it! LOL ;)

Dearest Amy......

What a perfect Graduation Reception for your perfect twin daughters, in the perfect setting of Betty & Edward’s garden. What a treat it has been to see your pictures and share in the girl’s special day. Everything looks truly beautiful....... the guests, the setting and of course that gorgeous cake.

Hope you all had a great time at Amelia Island.

Congratulations girls! Love Marion & John
