Pre-K Graduation

Today was Rachel's last day at Pre-K and her last day at Kids R Kids...tonight was her graduation ceremony.  I admit it - I cried.  I couldn't help myself... She is growing up right before my very eyes. 

Our graduate!

Rachel and Erin beforehand.  Erin is one of her friends that has been there the whole five years with her.  I wish we had gotten more pictures of her group of friends...sadly, we did not.

Walking in...to "Pomp and Circumstance" of course.

She was on the side that was still in the sunlight for a while... so she had to block the sun... Thankfully it went down soon. (And it was so nice out there - we couldn't have asked for a better evening!)

Big smiles!

Rachel and her three teachers.  

Now, another thing I am thankful for is that the director found a couple of teachers to stay for the ceremony and keep a few of the younger siblings for us - out on the other playground.  Thank goodness because there is no way that Jackson would have sat still for an hour and been quiet.  So he had fun while we did our thing.  After it was over, we went and grabbed him and let him play on the big playground with everyone else.  This other little boy is in Jackson's class at school (his brother was graduating with Rachel) and they got on this truck at the end and had such a good time.  They were so cute!!

Now we have two months of summer and then we move on to Kindergarten!!!
