Hey there everyone and welcome to my son's graduation party! 🎓 I am so excited to share it with you because to me you are my family and friends and that is exactly who we celebrate with. Even if a graduation party is not in your near future I hope all the party planning tips I share will help you with your next fun event whether it is big or small! I mentioned on Instagram that my daddy is in the hospital but also wanted to update here. He is doing better every day but the doctor still isn't sure exactly what is going on or what has caused him to get so sick twice in the last month. They are running a lot of tests with some taking up to three days to get the results backs so he will remain in the hospital for the next few days at a minimum. Any and all prayers are appreciated for his full recovery as well as for my brother and me to have the strength to keep caring for him. It is several hours one way for me to drive to the hospital he is in so it makes for long days while my brother is staying the nights at the hospital and not getting much sleep. Love you and appreciate all your support! XO❤

My daughter reminded me yesterday that we're only 2 years away from hers. Unreal how quickly time flies. I'm already sad. 🙃 Beautiful job on all the decorations and food! Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us! 💕 God bless your son as he moves on to the next chapter of his life! And hugs to you! 😊
Hey there! Two years will fly by. Doesn't it seem like they were just in kindergarten? I am trying really hard not to think about what life will be like in the fall when our nest is empty. Staying in the moment and enjoying these last days before such a big change. I am so thankful for your friendship! XO
You are such an amazing mom! Looks like a perfect party environment. I am totally going to borrow the resealable cookie 🍪 cellophane idea. I’m sorry you got rained out! It seems like every year when we plan my daughter’s birthday party it also rains on us, so I feel your pain! Congratulations to your son! 🎉👨🏻🎓
Woww congratulations to your son for graduating!! Love all the wonderful decorations you did!! The light up letters are amazing!! Food looks great!! The theme looks so nice..blessings to ur son!!
Congratulations to your daughter! What an exciting time in life. Your love poured into her party will make it perfect. Canes makes it so easy too. Thanks so much for watching and again, congratulations! 🥳
Hi Lesa! I’m over here watching and trying to get some inspiration for my baby! Everything looks so good! I bet it was a great time! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤
Graduation for your son is coming up fast! Congratulations to him! And to you and your husband for getting him to this huge milestone. I hope you got some great ideas. Decorating for guys can be a little more challenging I think. We did have a great party and I can hardly believe it has been a year now. He just finished his freshman year of college and moved back home for the summer. I am so happy and soaking up every moment of the next three months! Sending you big hugs and prayers as you navigate this bittersweet journey. XO

Hello! Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you stopped by for some party decorating inspiration. Congratulations to the graduate. I hope your celebration is a wonderful time for everyone. XO
Lesa, Congratulations to your son on his graduation!👨🎓🎓🎉🎉You did can absolutely beautiful job decorating! Everything looks awesome!! I believe in saving things from previous parties too I’ve had to do that for my daughter from high school graduation to her master’s degree. It was fun to do but definitely a lot of work setting up. It shows how much love you put into this, I love all the decor and great food choices, we love Canes!! God bless! ❤❤
Hi there. Those plates are Mac Kenzie Childs Courtly Check. I get them off their website or the occasional small home decor retailers that carry them. Congratulations to the graduate! XO 🤩
Hello Lesa! I was waiting for this video. Everything looks so fabulous as usual! Congratulations to your son. Love the self closed bags. We don’t have a Cane here. Everything looks delicious!!! Yes yes yes do what the guest of honor likes. Have a wonderful weekend! 💙
Hey there Mariana! I will be sure and tell my son you said congratulations. Thank you! I have never really looked but now think Cane's is southern maybe? I am so glad I got to share the party with you. Your son is about to graduate as well isn't he? I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend as well. XO
I love everything about this! 🙌 The succulents are such a pretty centerpiece! And the light up letters are so cute! 😍 Rain is such a party crasher! 😅 But your patio is still gorgeous! 😍 Congrats to your son!❤
Hi Sammie! So glad you enjoyed the party décor and center pieces. My oldest son's graduation party was rained out as well so I knew better how to handle it this time with less stress. 😂 Thank you so much for watching. You are dear to me and I am glad I could share the celebration. XO
Great inspirational video today my dear friend hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy, and Debbie loved all the black and white McKenzie child pieces you shared also one of my favorites
Hi Lesa tell your son congratulations. The cupcakes looked yummy 😊the cookies bags so pretty. Got to 💕 Amazon they have being a blessing too me, I would forever be grateful to them 🙏. Congratulations to the class of 2023:)
Hey there! I will definitely pass your well wishes on to my son. Thank you. Amazon for the win every time! 😅 Thank you for stopping by our party! Hope you have a wonderful afternoon. XO
Hi Brittany! I will pass on your congratulations to my son. He is so excited for this next adventure. Thank you for your sweet encouragement. Have a wonderful evening. XO
Hi there and welcome! I am glad you are here. Sorry for my delayed reply it has been a whirlwind of activity this summer. Little by little getting caught back up...or trying. 😅 Hope you are having a wonderful week.
Hi Lesa! I loved watching this video and celebrating your sons graduation with you. Even though you didn’t film the event, it was like we were there! All the food looked so delicious and I love the tip to use sams club cupcakes and cookies and take the shortcuts where you can because it’s such a busy time you want to be able to enjoy the moment too! It’s very emotional time - so proud of your son yet sad the HS years are over yet so excited for his future! You DO work very hard! Even if you didn’t have RU-vid, (which is SO much work!) being a good mom and wife is a lot of work and you do it so well! Scott said tonight “you can tell she’s a good mama” 😊 Also love the little clear bags for each cookie - so festive and easy to grab! Love you! I love the tip that you use the same list for every party. So smart. If you sold your list on Etsy I would buy it! ♥️ Cathy
Hi there and welcome! Congratulations to your daughter. That is a huge accomplishment and I know you must be so proud of her. Good luck with the party. I hope that you found my video helpful and am so glad you stopped by to watch. Have a wonderful day. XO❤️
