All Grown Up!!!

Daughter number 5 graduated from the University of Oregon last week. We had a great time, four of the McKinley daughters were in attendance, as well as, a few very close friends. 

Of course the weather did not disappoint, Saturday 80 degrees, Sunday 72, Monday, graduation day, 60 degrees and raining!  And......graduation was outside!

After graduation, daughter number 5 and her roommates hosted a potluck.  We had a great time, meeting the families of the girls that we have gotten to know over the last four years.

One of the moms made the cutest Oregon Duck cookies!!


Daughter number 4 and her best friend! The best friend's mom made the cookies!!

I have a lot of posts to catch up on....several swaps to share and, a special package from a special blog pal came yesterday in the mail!  I can't wait to show you!!

Stay tuned...more to come!

  15. How wonderful to have 5 beautiful...and obviously intelligent...daughters! Lucky lady! By the way...we see more people in Oregon Ducks gear at Disneyland than any other school...is it Donald they come to see? =D I wanted to ask if you wanted to switch to a triangle banner or do you prefer the squares? I also need your address when you get a spare minute. Thanks for being a swap partner with me. =D
