Kindergarten Celebration

And in the blink of an eye, it was the last day of Kindergarten. Connor was super excited for us to come to his school for celebration day & so were we! Connor even smiled a bit for our early morning pictures.

 Probably the saddest part for C, was that he will not be riding the bus for quite a while. So, we all 5 headed out to see him off...

 Here's Connor & our neighbor who shared our bus stop.

 And off they go in the big yellow bus to the last day of school!

Celebration was a hit! We did NOT get kicked out for bringing too many guests (and I happened to notice that we did not have the most peeps in tow). But it WAS crowded. I mean there are a lot of people who like to celebrate Kindergarten, apparently. The kids memorized a short program for us, sang songs, and we had cake -of course the kids favorite part!

(Connor is about in the middle of the video, the tallest to the right of the dark haired dad up front)

After the celebration, one of the super organized Moms from class invited everyone to the park for a picnic. What a fun way to celebrate the last day together this year!
