My sweet niece, Hayden, is graduating from high school this year- and while I am so excited for her about the thrills of college and setting out on her own...I also get a little sentimental about the fact that she is going to college and setting out on her own! She's a keeper, and it's hard to let her go. So I decided that to keep from getting too sentimental, I would just do what we all should do and celebrate! After all, it is a very important milestone in life- one that makes her quite happy! So... let's celebrate! I wanted to share this great idea board from Pizzazzerie with hopes that, whether you have a senior, a kindergartner, or a graduate somewhere in-between, you can find some inspiration for your graduation party! I know I am going with the mortar board candy pops for Hayden's party!
