A Special Day!

Last Thursday night was AEH's Graduation from the preschool that she has attended since she was 2 1/2 years old. It has been a wonderful experience and we have been very pleased. So much that EMH will start there next year.
When AEH got up Thursday morning she came in my room as I was getting ready and said. "Mom, today is a special day, isn't it?" And one of many special days it was! Her daddy had already left for work but he had something waiting for her in the kitchen. Her favorite breakfast food, DONUTS! He had gone to our favorite donut store and gotten her some donuts and brought them back home just for her. She was loving her special day already!
Notice the vitamin to the left of her donut bag. At least we try to counteract the unhealthy food we feed our children. :)

Juju is so good at coming up with unique and great ideas. She thought it would be fun for AEH to wear a shirt on the last day that said thank you to all of her teachers from the past three years. Aunt Suzi is very good at stuff like this so Juju asked her to make it. It was darling! The teachers loved it and AEH was so proud to wear it!



AEH usually stays for lunch bunch but not today on her special day. Her daddy surprised her and picked her up from school and we all met for lunch.


And finally the night came and our daughter was ready to walk down the isle and graduate from preschool.

They called her name, our names, the school she would be attending and then they told what she wanted to be when she grew up... which we had no clue what she had told them. She said "a ballerina"...something we have not even tried yet. Good thing we are trying out a ballet camp this summer.
Her class sang some cute songs with dancing and motions.

She even had a small speaking part.


She and her friend AA were really enjoying themselves here.

SLH bought these flowers on his own and gave them to her after the program. She LOVED them and thought she was so special!

We were all so proud of her!

Her friend since they were infants, MC. Better known to AEH as her "sister".


AEH is wearing a locket that Meme and Ampy gave her. She had been asking them for a locket with mine and SLH's pictures in it. She loved it!

She and her friend HB met strictly through preschool. They ended up wearing the same dress and they were so happy about that.

And the proud parents with the "graduate"!

She will enjoy her last celebration of preschool tomorrow night at a swim party for the graduates. She can't wait!
