Friday evening, we had Sara's birthday / graduation party. She invited her MCO friends to come to dinner before the party, since they were driving for more than an hour to get here and would have to leave earlier than the other kids to get home by curfew. We fed them enchilada casserole and salad. Then the other guest began arriving.

I handed the camera to Laney and told her to document the fun. These are her photos.
Brynn is also graduating and took every opportunity to be in the pictures so she could remember all her friends when she moves to Utah and then goes on a mission later this year.

Kallie Jordan Riffenburg surprised Sara by coming. Sara introduced her as her married friend. Kallie is one of Sara's best friends and she was so happy to have her there.

We had Italian Cream Sodas
And LOTS of yummy cupcakes!
Chips, salsa, 7 layer bean dip, veggies and Josh Jordan
One of the highlights was the karaoke portion of the evening. Sara and Brynn started it out with a very dramatic and over stylized rendition of Electric Love by BORNS. It was pretty hilarious!
Laney chose to sing I Do Adore by Mindy Gledhill with Sara. Super cute and pretty!
Freddy and Josh Jensen did Perm by Bruno Mars. They were awesome!
Then Freddy and Josh Jordan did Waiting for the End by Linkin Park. They were so adorable with each other.
Ethan surprised us all by performing Man's Not Hot by Big Shaq. We were DYING with laughter!!!
Lilli and Andrew did Stacy's Mom by Casey Abrams and Post Modern Jukebox. Always a favorite!
Josh and Miles did Strings by Shawn Mendes. They are HUGE Shawn Mendes fans and they sang with all their heart!
Freddy ask Dad to perform Fortuosity by Tommy Steele (from The Happiest Millionaire) with him. They were so at one with each other that it looked like they had choreographed it ahead of time. The dancing was amazing!
"High Society"
"Fortuosity, that's me by word"
Then came the heel clicking.
And more dancing
"Twinkle in me eye word"
It was so cute!
Some of the audience
Madi had to leave early so we snapped a couple pics quickly.
These girls sure do love each other!
The lights and decorations looked so pretty! They moved the party outside and danced. The weather was cool and perfect.

These pictures are from Brynn. She took tons while I was busy running things. That's why she's in almost all of these.

Here's most of them. This was before Tommy and Makaila came, but the MCO friends had to leave to get home on time.
Everyone loving Sara!
Sara's buddy Tyiss came by for a few minutes to say hi. He had a busy night but wanted to at least make a brief appearance.

Everything went smoothly and was a ton of fun! I sure love all these amazing kids! We have been blessed with the best friends!!!
