Daniel's Graduation {England, post 5}

Daniel graduated from the University of Bristol this past Tuesday, July 19th.

Which also happens to be mom's birthday :)

So we had double the reason to celebrate.

Mom and Dad were able to go to the graduation (each graduate only got 2 tickets).

Matt and I stayed at home and watched it streamed live online.

I sent mom with my camera to take lots of pictures.

The night before graduation we met up with some of Daniel's friends and their parents for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

Before they headed off to the graduation.

In front of Daniel's buildings/places where his classes were. I think.

Waiting to go across the stage.

And there he goes.

Pictures afterwards. I have no idea who most of these people are.

:)

Then, they rushed home to take pictures with me and Matt before Daniel had to turn his gown back in.

With his hood on. [In England they do hoods, instead of those funny hats with tassels like I had in the U.S.]

Haha.

 The back.

We are having proper graduation (and mom's birthday) celebrations on Saturday, since Tuesday was a whirlwind... and mom and dad left yesterday for a conference until Saturday.

So right now the boys and I are holding down the fort.

I'm cooking up all sorts of food for them (today I made chicken fajitas to show them what they're missing out on by not living in Texas), and we're watching lots of movies and generally having a good time.
