Benji's Graduation Party

On Saturday it was Benji's turn to host. We did most of the set-up while he went to Mira's grad party in the morning:

We actually filled the balloons for this the night before. We all liked how it came out!

Waiting for the party to start

The actual party went from 2-5 and was great. We ended up having upwards of 80 people come. which made for a packed house (it was meant to be an outdoor party, but it was raining), but we made it work:

The adults were mostly upstairs - Michel, Steph and Holly chatting

We sent the teens downstairs. Davis arrived first, 10 minutes before the party was supposed to start

I snuck down periodically to try to capture the crowd. This pic has the Daly, Pierce, WoCoJo crowd on the left and Emma, Everest, Lily, Katherine, Anna, Spencer, Benji, Brook, Davis, Sam, Ananda and Alex in the circle

Katherine, Anna, Benji, Brook

Back down as new people have filtered in. Now Keira, Emma, Everest, Nyomi, Benji, Michelle, Katherine, Ceres, Jayla and Dei, with Owen by the table

Last time as the crowd thins out but a few more joined - with Evin in front and Ada out of sight int he corner

Benji knew I wanted pictures so he made his friends take them in front of the '26 (so sweet!). With Lily

After the party, Annmarie rightly suggested that we should take a few family shots:

All the cousins

Not the most flattering shot, but it proves we were all together!
