Graduation gifts

The opening of gifts was about to begin.

The overview from on the stairs.  Everyone was in suspense, "What is in that package?"

A lap top computer for college
 from his loving parents. 

Her first diamonds from her parents, Lovely Earings.  She already had her own computer.

WOW!  
What a gift.  Aunt Melissa had been working very hard on denim quilts for both her Godchildren.  They loved them 
and will get much use out of them in the future. 

Nana and Papa, thats me and my husband,  gave them both nice leather computer bags.   They loved them very much and will get much use during their college years. 

And from Greatgrandma Hanssen, they both got nice wood pen in wood box with bible verse
  Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
 plans to give you hope and a future. 

Very nice 2016 graduation Christmas ornament from cousin Angel.

Many other cards and gifts were opened in the evening and following day. They were both very appreciative of every graduation wish and everything they received, even those BIG GIGANTIC cards from cousin Amber and family.  

It was a fun memorable time for both of them and for all the family and friends who attended.  We pray that God would gently guide them, protect them and  strengthen them through the next few years as they work towards their future always trusting that HE has a special plan for them.
