Janine's Formal and Graduation is finally over and it was a big 2 days. Nana and Poppa were there to see her dressed in all her finery and surprisingly Lauren was working in Toowoomba those 2 days and was able to be a part of it too. Graham and I got out of our working gear into something more presentable and enjoyed the evening show with other the parents. They all 'arrived' at the school grounds (it has a great entrance for this) and after photos, nibblies and speeches, fireworks in the oval brought this segment to a finish. We then went to Rumours for the dinner and dancing - yes Graham got up to dance in the father/daughter dance but they both got a bit lost trying to work out the Pride of Erin on the crowded dancefloor! The evening ended with the students forming a guard of honour down the staircase for the parents! Rather moving!!
The Graduation Service hld a few surprises too - Janine gave the Valedictory Speech! We sort of knew but Nana didn't so she was quite moved! Janine then got a surpise by winning the All-round Achievement and Christian Character Award as well as an Academic Award.
Hey Bub, Janine looked beautiful in her outfit. It's a pity the car wasn't pink as well! I am sure you must have been very proud of all her achievements. Hey, how does it feel to be the mother of two grown up children. Pretty sad, hey.
ReplyDeleteOh Janine-ey looks so beautiful!! And coincidence!...I was developing some photos at work today and saw a girl going to her form in a dress the same as yours (except red) and thought what a stunning frock! Quite a dapper young gentleman next to you there too!
