three cheers for jubee!

you have never sat through a truly entertaining graduation ceremony until you've sat through one with my family. they are so hilarious! us + quiet + a whole bunch of other people (does NOT) = boredom. =D

today, the whole slew of us, all 15 of us, went to see our littlest sister graduate high school--the last of our clan to do so. "27 years!" my mom always hollers. that's how long we watstons have been in the fairfield school system. and we've tortured our fair share of teachers for sure. some of us more than others. [i won't mention names. oh wait, yes i will. JONATHAN!] but all in all, we have all made our mom and dad proud by working hard, studying all hours of the night, never waiting till the last minute... hahahahaha. even i couldn't finish that statement. =D

oh, and you know how in every graduation ceremony they always do that whole "housekeeping" bit where they tell everyone not to applaud until the very end to keep things moving along quickly? well.... we (my family and i) decided to improvise and instead of whooping and hollering for jubee when she walked across the stage to receive her diploma, (which by the way is ALL LIES! there was no paper in it! ...rip off.) we decided to stand, all 9 of us in the bleachers, and cheer her on "silently" by waving our arms and hands wildly in the air. great plan, right? NOT! they ALL chickened out! i felt like a complete idiot. (stupid family) ...awh, but i still love them. =) we all had a good laugh. and get this. to top it all off... jubee didn't even see! (shaking head) it was all in vain. i did however get some good snap shots of our little graduate on her big big day. =)

jubee's graduation

we're so happy and proud of you jubee! =D and while you are starting to grow into a very lovely young lady, you will forever be our baby sister. (smooches)
