Preschool Graduate

Olivia's last day of preschool!!
She was so excited because it was basically a party all day long.
She was also very sad that she wouldn't see Ms. Julie or Ms. Kristen after today.
To show how much Olivia has grown this year I took a picture in the same spot I took her first day of school picture. She has gotten so BIG!!

Olivia was so sad the van was in the shop the day before so this is Olivia welcoming the van home. After her hug she kissed the van too.
A very loved van.

Showing off her princess backpack!

Ms. Kristen helped her out of the van.

For the last 45 minutes of school they invited all the parents to come in and see the kids get their awards and they had prepared some surprises for us.
Dylan was so excited to see Sister and sit with her on the carpet.

The kids went out of the room and then came walking back in with their graduation caps on.
I got some video of them walking in.

Olivia was awarded her Preschool diploma and Ms. Julie read the answers off of Olivia's yellow poster. Olivia answered:
Name: Olivia
Favorite Color: pink and purple
Favorite Song: May There Always Be Sunshine
Favorite School Activity: being kind to friends
When I grow up, I want to be an: artist
At the bottom of her poster Olivia wrote that she is 5!!

Ms. Julie and Ms. Kristen with Olivia!!
Olivia was so sad to say goodbye and with teary eyes asked Ms. Kristen at one point if she had to say goodbye now. Luckily there was a bit more to go so she became happy really fast.
Funny thing is once it was time for goodbyes she raced over and gave hugs, happily said goodbye and walked out the door as happy as could be.
I guess the anticipation of goodbye is worse then actually saying it.

Family celebrating with Olivia!!

Olivia sharing her snack with brother. They had cheese pizza, fruit snacks, and apple juice.

Reading a story to Daddy and Dylan while everyone finishes snack time.

On the front row there is Campbell, Jack, Thomas, Karlie, Lily W., and Alina.

Walking in with their graduation caps on...


Presenting Olivia her diploma...


After singing their song they said what they wanted there to always be and Olivia's answer was ICE CREAM!!

Olivia's book bag was full of art work from the year.
One thing I found lots of fun was a questionnaire on Daddy.
Here are Olivia's answers:
My daddy has black hair and blue eyes.
He is 14 years old.
He cooks the best chicken and french fries.
I love it when he reads me Pinkalicious.
My favorite game to play with him is "all the games".
My Daddy's favorite thing to do is go to work.
Then she colored a picture of Daddy and Olivia together!
So Cute!!
