Commencement Ceremony Boredom 2011

Sister Jayne did demand we go to her Graduation so we did. In our family we usually do for HS , but in college, we kind of stopped for our sisters. Is that weird? When I graduated last year my parents and grandparents went, but since I LOVE my sisters I wasn’t going to force the three youngest to sit through that (Hilary was exempt because she was in Spain). So what’s a girl to do for just over two hours? The twinners and I had a photo shoot naturally.

P.S. sorry for the photo quality

14 Going on 24

It’s only fair that sister Francesca and sister Louisa get their own post as well. The same night Jayne had prom the twins had their 8^th grade spring “formal” (the quotes are because when I was in 8^th grade we wore sundresses and got ready after school), NOT sister Francesca and Louisa though, they went all out. Over the years the dance has apparently evolved and as the youngest of five girls I can’t really blame the twins for looking so old in their photos they are just well groomed by their older sisters. Now that I think about it, Dearest twin sisters, you should be thanking your older three sisters daily for guidance and knowledge into the fields of cosmetics, fashion and hair… You’re welcome. After buying several dresses for both and going back and forth they looked 24 not 14 but gorgeous none the less. I may regret saying this now, but I can’t wait to help you get ready for many more Homecomings and Proms since you are only going to be freshman next year.

Much love,

the designated photographer for all future dances 

Prom for 2011

I said Jayne’s graduation week was crazy and one of the biggest events of a girls life happened, SENIOR PROM! Sister Jayne went to hers with a huge group of friends and looked absolutely stunning. +perk of having a sister is you get to borrow their clothes and I truly hope I have an excuse to borrow Jaynes dress because of the style, cut, and color. Our front yard became a place inundated with parents, neighbors and kids we all baby-sit to see the “grown up” boys and girls drive away in a party bus. 

I remember my Senior Prom in 2005 and looking back I am SO glad I went with my group of friends and partied with what felt like a moajority of my class afterwards well into the am.

P.S. Kelly how do I only have a pic of you with Jayne and not me? lol You lucky duck you!

Spartan to Jayhawk

The world seemed to stop for a week for someone very special, my middle sister Jayne. She graduated from high school and we had both sets of grandparents come in from out of town (Kansas and Rhode Island) as well as my auntie Fran from NH. What did this mean?  Serious family bonding, eating, game playing, and partying. I love you sister Jayne, you did it (not that I ever doubted you could)! Dear KU please brace yourself for another Clink and please welcome her with open arms… OR ELSE!

Xoxo,

The Husky that could destroy a Jayhawk, except in almost every sport except hockey

Hooray Hilary!

Last month sister Hilary graduated from George Mason University  with a degree in Spanish.  Mom, dad, and Eman were the only ones who went to her actual ceremony so we all got together for dinner at the families favorite restaurant, Mikes American Grill of course. Getting everyone all out at one times doesn't happen too often so it definitely was a night to celebrate! 

Xoxo,

sister sarah
