The last day of school!

We hosted Jaxon's 2nd grade class at our house for the last day of school. Mrs. Liimakka is being swarmed by her students who are eagerly awaiting for her to open their presents.

Jaxon got her a pair of earrings!

We love Mrs. Liimakka, she's the best 2nd grade teacher ever!

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION!

Mrs. Merkle called each of her students up in front of the class and said something very sweet and thoughtful about each student. She also picked a verse for each kid that she thought would be encouraging. She made it through the first few OK but when she got to Kenna she started to tear up. This is what she said about Kenna: "She never sought to be first or to have the best. She let others go in front and pick first, but she doesn't go unnoticed. I noticed that she is attentive and focused in class and really comes alive during recitation time. She is accurate on her work and an excellent math student. She said the worst part of kindergarten was getting up in the morning." The verse she picked for Kenna was Proverbs 22:1 "A good name is more desirable than great riches: to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."

Our sweet little graduate!

Ty and Huddy were thrilled to be there! (I have no idea what he is doing here)

We were crammed into this tiny tiny room! Good times!

We've been out of school for 1 day and Kenna has cried three times about how much she misses Mrs. Merkle and has emailed her twice already! Mrs. Merkle said that Kenna reminder her of her granddaughter who lives in England who she misses very much. That made Kenna feel special!
