Graduation!

We graduated from BYU! (To clarify, I graduated in December 2009, and missed the April 2010 ceremony because we were still in Texas. So I got to participate this year with Bowman, who really did graduate this year.) We were so lucky to have family who came to visit and support us. It was a wonderful and crazy couple of days of festivities, but we loved it. And with her favorite people around to give her constant attention, Rayna learned a new word: grandma! She loves her grandmas. :)

Aaaanndd... lots of pictures:

The World is Our Campus
She was such a sport and actually wore the cap the entire time! (minus the 30 critical seconds during which we were whisked in front of the photographer, whisked away from the photographer, and ushered into the spotlight on the convocation stage... stress... Haha.)

Kim!!! After so many years, we graduated together! We have been friends since we were 12 and I have some of my best memories with her! Evidence:

HAHAHA!!! Such a good friend. Congratulations Kim!

"Who's the man?" For those who have seen Rayna's trick... you wonder where she gets it.
  
Elder Richard G. Scott and President Samuelson. We loved all the robes. Fancy!
Little Grumpy in her robes. The people and the robe and the lack of naps made for more than one grumpy picture. It's okay, still cute!

We went to dinner at Red Lobster where Rayna got to pet a real lobster!




The siblings!
