Graduation Day

What can I say?! We are so excited and proud of Zachary. He worked so hard, and he did it! Zachary graduated on December 18th 2009, with a Bachelors of Science from the University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Business Administration majoring in three areas; Business Finance, Financial Markets and Banking, and Investment Portfolio Management.

We started off the day by going to brunch at our favorite little restaurant, Le Peep. I had stuffed french toast. It was so good! Bob came and ate with us, and was really happy to catch up with little Chloe. When we got home from that, Gary and Kathy (Zach's parents) made it into town, and we all went off to graduation!!

It was a Christmas miracle when Chloe fell asleep a little way into the ceremony. It was supposed to be three hours long, and though it only ended up being about two and a half, Chloe would have been a wreck if she had stayed up any longer. Here she is sleeping on mommy's puffy coat, and sucking on a sippy. Very cute. When she woke up, she was in a bad mood and this is the best picture we got of us three together.

Smoochy smoochy
So proud of you Zachary!



Grandpa Bob also came, along with Zachary's sister Karie. They were at the ceremony too, but we couldn't find them for pictures. It was so good to see them! We all went out to dinner afterward at a place that didn't have a kids menu. They laid plastic under the high chair, and it took us a whole two hours to get food. Phew. Bedtime for Chloe was a long time coming, and we were so happy when we could tuck her in for the night.

But before we went to bed, CAKE!! I bought this cake for Zachary from Whole Foods. I am sure it is not good for you, but it was all natural. It was the best cake I have ever eaten. Worth it.

No, the cake we had for Zach's birthday was one I made, and while we do love that one... this cake was from whole foods... made with whole cream and whole butter and a whole lot of sugar... there are not words to describe how good this cake was. So rich and creamy and chocolatey- with caramel and pecans....
