Happy Graduation Day!

Friday, 6-12-09

Elissa had her last day of Preschool today and then graduation in the evening. She is all done with Preschool now, which is so hard to believe. This year flew by. I changed her from Joyful Noise Preschool to A Child's First Steps Preschool due to time and distance. I'm so glad I did! I loved this Preschool. They went on field trips and had tons of crafts and plays and interactions with parents during Preschool. The teachers were so welcoming and encouraged parents to come in and participate. It was a wonderful experience. I can't wait for Zach to go. Actually he thinks that the school is his. If I say that we are going to sister's school, he says, "no, my school!" He seems to be very excited to go. :0) But one more year at home with Mommy.

These are the teacher gifts that Elissa and I put together. I got the Starbuck cups that you can add your own pictures and I printed out all the pictures that Elissa took of her classmates when she took her camera to school for show 'n tell. Then I threw in some Hugs and Kisses. :0)


Here is Elissa taking her gifts to class.

Her last day of school!

We got home at 3pm and then had to be back at school by 5:45pm. I asked her if she wanted to take a nap before and she said no, but at 5pm she passed out on the floor while she was watching cartoons waiting for Daddy to get home so she could open her graduation gift. :0)

Elissa in her new outfit from Aunt Joyce. So cute!



Nana brought her flowers and Mommy & Daddy got her a necklace with a charm with her initial and one that is a purple butterfly -pieced together from FM & Target.




Elissa so cute in her cap waiting for her name to be called.

Zach was very happy that Elissa was back with us. Oh, so much brotherly love! :o)

One of Elissa's favorite people (and Zach's), Nana!
