While birthdays are annual events, It's but once
a person Graduates from high school. This
fact would logically lead to a big party surrounded by all of your friends and family;
or it would if the lion's share of your friends were not also graduating the
same week. This is an example of logistics trumping sentiment. Friends can't
attend your party because they are having their own, and like you, they too are
juggling grandparents' schedules, other family members' ceremonies, and dreading
any mistake that results in hurting someone's feelings. Just imagine planning your
wedding in the same week that eight of your close friends have scheduled their
own "Special day."
While there is a certain safety of only having a
small family dinner, the desire to have at least a few of your child's friends
on-hand is natural. So when the opportunity to merge our plans with the arrangements
a few of Lane's friends popped-up, it seemed like a great idea. It took a bit
of work (none of which I did) to
pull-it-off; but I thought it went quite well. The food was good, people all
got along well, even the weather cooperated.
Now I will shut-up and post pictures.
