Here's a picture of Trent's graduation box.
This was a tradition I started in (deep breath...) 95, when Erin graduated from Mesa High. I didn't have hardly any money and I wanted to make something memorable with the little bit I saved up.... Soooo.... I came up with the idea of giving her 95 things... since she was the class of 95... and Kristin 96 things... you get the idea. I bought some nice little things and filled in with silly things and candy...... BUT... I didn't think ahead cuz the next one graduated in the year 2000.... THEN came the controversy... Dustin wanted 2000 things in his box. The BOX was now a tradition... there was NO way I thought I could do 2000 things... but to keep up with tradition I DID and Dustin received his box with 2000 things... Teresa, 2003 things and Brandon 2007 things...
So here is Trent with his box of 2009 things....
There was all kinds of goodies packed in there... a little bit of everything... I didn't want to put a ton of candy in it so I went to the bank and got lots of change... The lady at the bank asked if I was having a garage sale and I started laughing... so she wondered if it was a joke... so I HAD to explain the BOX story to her.
When Trent gets to the bottom of his box he might have to go to a COINSTAR machine!
Time to celebrate! Graduation is almost here!

how cute you are so creative. I am going to do this for my kids.(of course it will be a lot easier since they'll graduate in 2025, 2027... so I can just do 25 or 27 things.
Fun!
Cute idea, now where's my OTHER 1900 things???
Quit whining, some of us were just born at a better time and year of 2000, thus receiving more rewards for our hard work!
I said it before, and I'll say it again.....you are THE MOST creative person I know!!!!! Great idea!
