Our Graduates...

Last week was a busy week for us.....

Two graduations-

Kindergarten and Sixth grade.

I can't believe it!

First up-

Hallie Jo

The kids all had the opportunity to share some wisdom.

Hallie spoke about honesty and how her best friend is always honest and that she admires that.

She is so sweet.

Pictured right is Hallie receiving her certificate.

They sang a few songs... (With almost all the lights out! argh!)

After she got flowers from both her Mom and Dad

and we all posed for pictures with the graduate.

After the ceremony, the entire 6th grade went to Hollywood Connection for the day.

Hallie had a blast.

I remember sitting in Hallie's Kindergarten graduation holding my newborn baby thinking-

Hallie will be graduating sixth grade  when Carter graduates Kindergarten.

Little did I know that day would come so quickly.

Boo!

Next up----

Carter Jay

Each graduate had the opportunity to share their favorite part of Kindergarten and what they want to be when they grow up.  Carter's favorite part was Art and Lilly (their class hamster) and he wants to be a scientist when he grows up.  They sang a couple of adorable songs and received their certificate. I loved their shirts.  They each drew a self portrait and they were all transferred onto a t-shirt.  It was so fun to see all of their art work.  Carter drew extra long eye lashes on his.  Cute boy!  He does have long eyelashes and often receives compliments for them.

After the ceremony there was a small reception and they each got gifts and had cake and punch.

I took Carter with me to Starbucks and I asked him if he wanted a "I just graduated from Kindergarten hot chocolate."  He replied, "Really, it says that?" I laughed........  And then we were handed his hot chocolate!

And my cute graduate who reads quite well, said "No, that doesn't say I just graduated Kindergarten today, It says I just graduated from Kindergarten YAY!"  We laughed........  And then the barista threatened to pop his balloon!  Love that boy!

And I couldn't leave you with out sharing this cute song.....

It was towards the end of the ceremony and the kids were a little stir crazy, but still super cute!
