Caroline E. Graham, First Grader!

It's official...we have a FIRST GRADER in our home!  Last night we packed up the backpack, laid out the uniform and then read, "The Night Before First Grade"...


It was an early morning wake up call, but she did it!

 
Next year, that little boy with his Blue-Blankie will be going to Kindergarten:(  He missed his "Liney" today, but we had an enjoyable day together!

We stopped by Chick-fil-A for our annual Back to School Breakfast...
...and then hurried off to school.  She was a little nervous to walk in, but she did fine!  Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Brackman.  Her other teacher is on maternity leave.
By the looks of her reaction at pick up, first grade RULES!
We finished the day with a little celebration after dinner (don't laugh at my cookie crayon cake....Caroline liked it!).

I loved reading about Caroline's first day of 1st grade. Looks like it went well and everyone was happy. You're a good mommy making a cake, getting "the night before 1st grade," Chick-fil-a...clap, clap, clap.

What a nice post, and what nice pictures of your little first grader and her adoring family. I loved that picture of her eating at Chick-Fil-A.....she looks so happy. Can't wait to find out all about her first two days of school when you all come tomorrow night.

By the way, I should have said something earlier, but I LOVE your new heading. Did you do it yourself?

Donna you're a really good mom. You always do everything so perfectly memorable! I'm glad your children has such good memories of the special moments in her life!
