A Texas Sized Graduation!

This past week I was able to go home and celebrate my sister's high school graduation! Although I was sad leaving Austin in Arizona it was so fun to go back home for a little bit and spend time with the fam. My grandparents were even able to come out for the big celebration! Most of the trip was spent helping my mom prepare for the graduation party which meant lots and lots of cupcakes haha I am by no means good at making or even decorating cupcakes but I wanted to help out my mom and come to find they turned out pretty great!

Making practice cupcakes

Friday night we worked on making graduation caps for the pudding cups. I found the idea on Pinterest and once my mom saw them she had to have them haha 

 Saturday morning Jessica and I spent 4 hours making and decorating cupcakes!! It was a lot of work but the effort paid off because they turned out so cute!! 

We made so many cupcakes that they took up most of the fridge and freezer!

 My dad made Lexi a graduation video of her growing up over the years. As I sat there watching the video I couldn't believe that it is now her turn to go off to college. I still remember my own high school graduation and the fun times I had at college. I hope she has the same great experience that I had :D

 Everyone in tears haha 

Saturday night was the graduation!! All of us girls posing before leaving :D 

 We headed down to Ft. Worth and had an early dinner at Cantina Laredo since Lexi's graduation was at six. 

 They had an amazing mexican brownie... amazingly fattening! haha 

 Digging in!!

 Yum!

My dad saw this sign as we were walking over to Lexi's graduation. It made me laugh so I had to take a picture haha apparently if you want to start a church in Texas you are going to need a hymn book and a revolver haha in that order :D 

Graduated!! 

The party turned out awesome!! It was definitely a team effort :D 

I also made the mistake of showing my mom some hydrangea cupcakes and she just had to have Jessica and  me make some. I think they were a success!

Lexi just being Lexi

After the graduation party Sunday the rest of the time was spent relaxing and just enjoying time with each other. It was such a fun trip and it gets me excited for our next trip out there in July!! Plus this time Austin will get to join in the fun ;D
