Graduation Day

So today was the big graduation ceremony from Pre School.  Above is a lovely photo of all the graduates and Jacqueline (the honorary graduate "mom can I graduate too?").  You will notice that Ashton is wearing the lovely dress that she wore on her 4th birthday and for several occasions since (talk about a great value) and Jacqueline is wearing the beautiful dress Ashton only got a chance to wear once that she got for her 3rd birthday from Jani.  Yes, I was very happy to see how nicely they matched.
Not only did Judy make gorgeous cakes for all of the graduates she also included a cool set of cakes for the siblings as well (one boy in a sea of girls).  Everyone was raving about the cakes the rest of the afternoon but we had to give cupcakes for the event itself to avoid a crisis with the rest of the kids.
Daffy Dave came to play at the graduation and all of the kids LOVED it.  Even Jacqueline managed to follow along with the songs and games.
The ceremony had the kids reciting poems and singing songs and then getting a diploma from Teacher Nancy one at a time.  It was really cute.  There were also hats but they couldn't be worn due to pretty intense winds at the time.  On net it was a great time for everyone.   Grandpa Bob was also there which was a big hit for the girls as we went to lunch afterwards.
