The Graduate

Anna had a great preschool graduation last Friday!

Her school is housed in the bottom floor of a church.  So they were able to have their little program in the sanctuary.

First, they all filed in, wearing adorable little graduation caps.  They were all smiling and waiving away!  Anna was on the back row all the way on the end.  But thankfully, Clara and I sat in just the right spot and had a perfect vantage point.

After finding their seats they treated us to a cute little program.  Their first song cracks me up...for one very specific reason.  Bonus points to anyone that can figure it out!

Here they are singing their ABCs...

And singing about getting ready to play in the snow...

This is far from their best stuff, and I wish I could post the whole thing.  But unfortunately, the complete video is just too long and Blogger isn't having it!  

I had to cut off the first little bit of their last song to get it on here.  But it was so cute I just had to!

After the program, it was time for diplomas!  They were called up in alphabetical order to receive their certificates.  Alphabetical order means that Anna was dead last.  But she waited patiently for her turn.

All of the graduates.

Our special little graduate!

After the program, we all headed down to the classroom for refreshments.  But not before stopping in front of their Merry Meadow Math wall for a quick picture.

I chatted with parents while Anna sat and ate cake with all her friends.

Anna really loved all of her teachers, especially the fact that they shared her love of Hello Kitty!  We do feel very blessed to have had such wonderful, caring teachers for her this year.

We finished the festivities with a fun lunch with Phoebe at one of our favorites places.

Anna had a wonderful year at Webster Avenue Nursery School.  She learned a lot and loved every minute of it!

And Kindergarten is our next adventure!
