Graduation/Birthday Party

It was a busy day at the Blank house yesterday! We had a graduation party for Rachael, an early 55th birthday celebration for Steve, and he & I *quietly* celebrated the 5th anniversary of our beach ceremony and my move to PA.

So, first, here are the fun grad caps (peanut butter cups, chocolate-covered grahams, red licorice and red skittles):


And here is a picture especially for Stacey (she wanted me to serve salad in the bowl set that she bought for us in Africa at my "next big party")!
