We Made It!!

Introducing...
Dr. Brandon Gardner Sunday, May 22, 2011 was graduation day! We are officially finished with dental school!
Lots of family came out to join us in the celebration... Here we are with my parents.
We got there about 45 min before it began and somehow had to keep the kids entertained.
Lollipops worked for the first little bit.
When Brandon finally came out, Brayden joined the rest of us in taking pictures with her own little camera.
The kids were so cute when they saw him. After everyone sat down, Kaleb started blowing kisses to Brandon. It caught most of his group's attention (his row) and they were all blowing kisses back.
When they announced his name, Brayden stood on her chair and clapped so loud with so much excitement. I wish I could've video taped her at the same time I was video taping him. She was so proud of her daddy!
Here he is getting "hooded."
...and receiving his diploma.
By the time it was over Brayden was trying to get down on the floor to chase after him as all the graduates were exiting. We met up with him afterwards at a little reception area to take some pictures. A few of our friends from our ward came out to support us.

Here Brandon is with his mom, Joy.
...and his dad, Kevin, and step mom, Lynn.
Here's the whole group.
Congratulations Brandon!
Wow! It's still hard to believe we're done! What an accomplishment! Now onto real life.
Like my dad said, "That was the easy part." haha
