Our Youngest Has Graduated...In A Whole New Way

Of our six kids, the last one has graduated high school.  Emma Nicole had quite the year, with this quarantine and all.  She didn't get to celebrate her last day of school, prom, or senior trip.  And her graduation was one for the books.  But, she's taken it well for the most part and is ready for the next chapter of her life.  She will be starting at a local community college in the fall to get credentials to be a Vet Tech.

Rather than a regular graduation ceremony, Emma was allowed only six people to attend.  She was given a time slot of 9:30 AM to walk across the gym floor while her people cheered her on.  We had to wear masks during the ceremony (minus her and her mom) but was able to take them off for pics.  It was pretty short and simple, but definitely memorable.
