Mom's Birthday and Maddie's Graduation

Mylissa generously invited us to her house to celebrate Mom's birthday and to celebrate Maddie's graduation.  We wanted to made a big deal out of Maddie's graduation since it's been a big bummer not having the normal festivities because of COVID.  I made Mom and lemon poppyseed bundt cake!!  Mom always jokes that things cannot be too lemony but she admitted that this cake was a little too strong.  But it was still good.

Maddie came out in her cap and gown.  Shantelle had the graduation music playing.  We cheered for Maddie.  She joked that she was the valedictorian of her class (since she was the only one at her house).  Maddie showed us her prom dress.  Her group was doing a mini prom.  She looks beautiful in her dress.  Maddie joked that she was also prom queen. We told her why not! Celebrate it up!

It was a great day being together.  I bought several shirts for Dad to give mom.  At first mom was really surprised but then Dad gave it away that I had helped.  It gave us a good laugh.  Dad also surprised mom (with my help) and gave mom some really nice AirPods.
