Wow.. what a great day it was... everything was just fabulous and we feel so blessed and proud of our wonderful son!!! Congratulations to you Jason and your entire class!!
This lei was just too much fun.. my brother and his wife and kids brought this to Jason.. it was money folded and layered with silk flowers!! Many of the students wore real flower lei's for graduation and this was by far the most unique!!!! Thank you P&T and kids!!!
Jason's cousin Jenny - born the same day, 41 minutes apart - graduated the week before in So. Cal. .. here they are together yesterday:
We only got ONE photo of the 3 of us... I'm so happy I handed off the camera to Ashley so we at least got ONE photo together!

Sounds like you all had a great day! Congrats to your Son. I can't believe my daughter is 28 years old today and has been out of school for 10 years, yikes! Time does go by fast.
Love the money lei. Such a great idea!
