the kiddos thought the decorations & chalk on the sidewalk leading up to the van celebrating was a bit cool, deep down i think. gracie did like the bubbles waking her up, way more than bubby.
sweet ben wrote out cards for everyone in his class & spent an extra amount of time on that special one for mrs. cano. 10 or so cards he made. a perfectionist for sure!
getting into our van (that i just love!!) heading to school.
we played outside after school with friends for one last time this year. once i told 2 of the daddies i had shingles, they took several steps back!
monkey ready for takeoff!
the boys running all around & miss a taking a rest
gracie thought she was big time getting to push her friend little a on the swing!
just hanging around. this is one of her favorite things to do!!
breaking the rules (climbing), but it was the last day.
namaw & poppy came all the way over (thank you!!) & beat us home from preschool. we had los bravos for a celebration dinner at home, yummy!! (thank you namaw & poppy). & the kiddos got a little sumthin from their namaw &poppy for graduation. thank goodness, because ben asked "don't people get stuff when they graduate?" it's all about stuff sometimes, but we are trying to break that.
now, onto the ceremony...
the church was packed to the brim, so we had seats in the rear. it was a bit hard to get any good pictures. but, we could see our sweeties singing their hearts our (i think yelling) & putting all they had into the motions.
oh, sing a joyful noise! (gracie is the one with her eyes closed)
i think he saw me...
looking oh so happy!! i love all the kiddos white eyes!
can you hear me now??
gracie, was singing & performing her heart out so much, that she fell asleep during the performance!! i thought she had gotten sick or something, but just needed a nap. thank goodness there were plenty of cookies afterwards to recharge her!
the 2011 old north afternoon preschool & preK classes with gracie snoozing in the back by the cross.
ben & his teacher, whom he just loved to death. it was so funny, they had to find the correct hat for benj due to his extremely large brain! mr. benj wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. (some of the kiddos answers just cracked me up "16, firefighter or a ninja."
walking down the aisle.. looking pretty proud! way to go my big buddy!! i am so proud of you!
bestest buddies. miss a wants to be a mommy when she grows up. she has one of the bestest mommys & role model i know!
at home. i think he asked a few times "why do we have to wear these silly hats?"
with their proud namaw & poppy.
the kiddos & daddio were tired of me taking pictures, so the camera went up. it was such a fun & memorable occasion though, with lots of laughs. we've all learned a lot this school year: on handling other kiddos, each other & the school smarts too. ben & gracie, your momma & daddy are so proud of you both each & every day & love you more than you will ever know!
