Mandi's Graduation

On Monday night Lucy and I attended Mandi's graduation ceremony for her Masters degree. We were so excited that we could celebrate with her. Auntie Sandy (Mandi's mom) came up on Monday afternoon too. We all went to the ceremony together. Then we went to dinner with Jer and a few of Mandi's friends to celebrate. Here are a few pics:

The stage had a flag for each of the countries that the students were from

Mandi, we are so proud of you and so glad that you chose to study in Minnesota. We will be searching for a job for you that is in the twin cities so you don't leave us!

See, Jers? You're so darn cute when you smile!!! Becki, I'm trying to figure out how you are related to Mandi... sister? Cousin??? You look alike. Fun that you guys could all go - how'd Lucy do, sitting through something like that? I'm sure you were busy!

Mandi and I are cousins. A lot of people say we look alike. Lucy was really good during the ceremony. She ate a lot of goldfishies. There was a little boy in front of us that kept her entertained for a while too.

Cool. Yes, you do. That's funny about Lucy with the fish... we were at a change of command ceremony today and I was laughing at all of us with toddlers in the back row - stuffing their little faces to keep them quiet!!!
