Preschool Graduation

Yesterday was Claire's preschool graduation.  I still can't believe that my baby is done is preschool and going on to Kindergarten.

Here is Claire before the ceremony.  She is getting so grown up.

Oliver was there to support his sister.

Here is Claire with her teacher Miss Maria.  Claire loved her teacher this year and she learned so much from her!!!

Here is Claire with her other teacher Miss Amy.  Claire had Miss Amy a few years ago and we were all thrilled when Miss Amy moved up to the preschool room!

Before they passed out the diplomas each class sang a few songs.  It was adorable!  Claire loves to be on stage and she sang her hear out!

Claire had a few cap issues but she worked them out and looked beautiful in her cap and gown.

My little graduate with her official diploma.

While we were waiting for the ceremony to start Oliver hung out with his girlfriend Elizabeth.  Oliver and Elizabeth are in the same class and they LOVE each other.  Whenever they see each other they hug and kiss each other like crazy.  It is adorable.

Here is Claire with two of her buddies Addison and Jaycee. 

Abbie and Claire were thrilled to see each other!  They were buddies in their class last year but this year they were in different classes.  Needless to say, they still love each other.

 We wanted to get Claire something special for her big day and she has been begging for this National Geographic about the solar system (she is a little obsessed with the solar system) so we decided to make this her special gift and she was THRILLED!

Nana and Papa got Claire a grown up Minnie Mouse watch for her special day!

And Grandma and Grandpa got her a beautiful butterfly ring!  I think our little graduate is a little spoiled by her grandparents!!

After the ceremony Claire wanted to go and get some ice cream to celebrate.  So what the graduate wanted the graduate got!

I don't think that Oliver was upset with his sister's decision to have ice cream.  He was there to support her 100%.

Claire got a little treat bag from her teachers and she was super excited!  It was really sweet.  They made each child a movie with all of their pictures from the school year.  They also made them a yearbook/memory book.  It was really sweet.  One of the questions was "where are you going to live when you are older" and Claire answered "with my Mom because I told her I would" I love her.  They also gave them these t-shirts, which was gigantic on Claire so she was pumped to have it as a nightgown.

I am so proud of Claire. She worked so hard this year and LOVES school!  Her teachers just kept telling us how smart she is.  I am so proud!!  My baby is ready for Kindergarten!! I can't wait to see what next year brings!!  CONGRATULATIONS CLAIRE!!  WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY!!!
