Celebration Dinner

Our graduation festivities began with a graduation dinner the night before graduation.  It was at a really fun restaurant called the View on lake Calhoun.  We got to meet a lot of Scott's classmates and professors and enjoy some really yummy food.  The best part, we got to spend time with family, as just adults.  Our good friends were gracious enough to watch all four of our kids for us while we enjoyed an evening out. 

Thanks Wes, Lorinda, Glenn, and Martha for coming and celebrating with us, we love you guys so much and it meant so much to have you there with us.  

We also got to celebrate with our good friends the Lee's.  We've loved getting to know them and their cute family and we will really miss them!  Brian's parents were here and it was great to get to know them also.

The whole clan... looks fun, doesn't it?!
Brian, Joni, and Brian's parents
Great job Brian!! We are really going to miss you guys!
The Mortensen's - 
The graduate... and the wife.
Our sweet friends Ainy and Umair
The dinner was great, and it was fun to celebrate with family and friends. I'm so proud of Scott and all he has accomplished, and we love our families so much.  Thanks for coming to celebrate with us during this very busy time in your lives!
