Beautiful Japanese-Themed Homeschool Graduation Party

On Saturday, we had an 8th grade graduation party for Alexis. Due to her love of Japan, the culture, the people, the language, we went with a Japanese theme: Cherry Blossoms. The party wasn't a surprise, but the theme was kept from her for months. Because she's vegetarian, we served vegetarian Japanese dishes. After the party, which was about 4 hours long, we went to the Orlando Science Center. What a wonderful day!


Here is a sampling of the shots from the party:

My crafty daughter and her friend made the Cherry Blossom branches from branches and tissue paper.



Chop stick party favors help form the centerpiece.

Her expression captured as she walked in to see the party setup.
