My Preschool Graduate

My little baby is a graduate!! Katelyn had her preschool graduation ceremony from Messiah on May 21st. Sorry it has taken so long to post. We started out the evening going out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder at Grisanti's which the kids actually enjoyed a lot. Katelyn brought her books that she had made throughout the year to show all of us. She had a alphabet book, a shapes and colors book, and a book all about her. We also got to check out her school yearbook (can u believe we already are buying yearbooks!). We presented her with a gift which she was ecstatic about. It was a tin with really nice watercolors, a matching bin for her colors, and some watercolor books. She loves painting and drawing! After dinner we went to church to the ceremony which was adorable. All her classmates in their little paper made graduation caps. Cute! Cute! Cute! They were all presented a diploma from their teacher and then they performed their song from the school operetta from a few weeks ago. There was a slide show in the church prior to the start of the ceremony that wa so fun to watch. They then had a reception in the gym following with cake, ice cream, and punch. DELICIOUS! It was all decorated and lots of fun. All of her classmates were running around searching for one another to take pictures together. Only about 6 of her 17 classmates are returning to Messiah for Kindergarten :( so it was kind of sad. Grandma and Grandpa Neumann met us at the church for the ceremony and got a huge kick out of watching with us. Cooper kept Grandma very entertained as well! You will see in the pictures several pics of Katelyn and her little friend Caleb. Katelyn and Caleb have been best buds for the last two years. They are attached at the hip and are so adorable to watch. They hold hands and never leave each others side. We are so bummed that Caleb will not be returning to Messiah for school however he does go to church there so they will still see each other. Katelyn has been very sad about this. There are also pics of her with her friends Katie and Grace. We were supposed to be attending a party for the graduates the following Sat. at one of her classmates homes but it unfortunately got rained out. However, this Sat. is the raindate so we are looking forward to the party where they have planned pony rides, games, and lots of food for the kids.
