Graduation Time

We had two graduates to celebrate. One graduated 8th grade and one graduated high school so we celebrated them together. The party was held at home. We gave one time for the elder members of our family and a later time period for the teens to attend. Everyone did not RSVP and we were scared we did not have enough food to last the whole time, but we made it work. We had to change the table items around to replenish the food items.
