Raina Jernigan High School Graduation 2011

Okay, I know...it has been almost a month since my last blog. We have been so busy. Our baby girl, Raina Joy, has graduated from Muskogee High School. She is the 7th of our 9 children. My twins, Asa and Ezra will be graduating next year. Wow time flies by.


I wanted to share some of the pictures from our celebration! We dressed our best. My jacket and Peter Nygard Embroidered Belted black cotton dress were from Dillards. Raina had the cutest black dress with black tulle peaking out from the hem. Dennis looked great as usual with black slacks, tan jacket and grey knit shirt.

Proud mom and dad!

We decorated the table using Raina's design sense using hot pink and creme for the theme.

Table Decorations

The pink paper lanterns were from Hobby Lobby. The silver candlesticks were from Southern Living. Special touches of black tulle and creme ribbon under the pink candles matches Raina's dress and theme. I used my mother's vintage embroidered table cloth. My daughter, Glory Thompson, made her famous Red Velvet Cake Balls

 Let the party get started!

Pretty pink lanterns

Our friends helped us get the house ready for the party while we were at graduation. They only pass out a certain number of tickets per child...large families have to ask around for extras.

Raina High School Prom 2011

Getting all dolled up!

I wanted to share pictures from Raina's, our youngest daughter, senior high school prom. Getting ready is most of the fun. Here she is with just her own makeup, no hair yet or dress! I think she does a great job! 

Rachel and Raina ready to party!

It is more fun getting ready with a friend!
Raina did the hair for both of them!

 Raina had to help me design the perfect bracelet, Raindrop, that would sparkle and shine. We used 5 strands of Swarovski crystals and finished it with a puffed sterling heart charm at the adjustable clasp. It would be perfect for any special evening, bridal  or wedding, or with a little black dress.

By The Stairs

 Taking photos by the grand staircase is a tradition in our home.

The flowers were creamy white rose buds and from I'm A Basket Case in Muskogee. They really had a great time. Leaving the prom early and then going to his house with friends for a mom-cooked breakfast was a great way to end the event!
