Emma's Pre-K Graduation

It is hard to believe that Emma is finished with pre-k, and we will have a kindergartner in a few months! They had a little graduation ceremony, and it was really special. If you know me, you know that I cry easily, and I did shed a few tears on this day. They showed a slide show of pictures of the kids, did the pledge to the American flag, Christian flag, and Bible, sang us a song, walked across the stage to get their new Bible and to get their tassle turned. A reception followed with sweets and punch. It was a really fun time to celebrate Emma's accomplishment!

Tea Party

To celebrate Emma's graduation from pre-k, the girls and I went to a tea room here in Edmond for lunch! I have been wanting to take them there, and it was the perfect day for it. Emma was looking around and taking everything in! It is beautifully decorated with chandeliers, china, and flowers. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, this is fancy!". She also said that she was "elegant" just like Fancy Nancy. I loved watching her as we spent our time there because I could tell she felt special...and she is.

There is a hat rack right inside the door, and you can pick any hat to wear during your "tea"! The girls loved trying them on.

Look at those little hands! The girls had pink lemonade, and they brought it out in a little tea pot. Emma had the best time pouring "tea" for her and AnnaKate. They felt so special getting to drink out of real tea cups!

Emma pouring tea. I think that was her favorite part!

The girls with their tiered tray lunch. The first tier had cheese cubes, turkey and cheese panninis and a heart peanut butter and marshmellow cream sandwich complete with sprinkles. To my surprise they didnt' like the peanut butter and marshmellow cream! The second tier had a scone, whipped cream with sprinkles, and grapes. The third tier had a vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a fancy rice crispies treat.

Emma's Dance Recital

Emma has completed her first year of dance and has loved it! Today was her recital, and she had a ballet and tap number. It was such a joy to watch her dance on the stage! Her ballet dance was to "As the Deer", and her tap dance was to "Papa Loves Mambo". Both of them were precious! Poppa and Marmee made the trip for her recital, and Emma loved that. They even gave her roses after the performance and she was so excited! We are all very proud of our little ballerina!

Sold!

We have officially sold our house and feel so lucky that it was only on the market for a week! We only had two showings, and they both made offers. The one we took was for full asking price and closing on June 30th, which is T.R.'s last day of work. God totally worked this out for us! It couldn't be a better situation. We have had so many memories in this house, and I will be so sad to pull out of the drive-way at the end of June. I can remember pulling into the drive-way 5 years ago and seeing it for the first time! T.R. had come up to look at houses when Emma was only 2 weeks old, and I hadn't seen the house until we moved here. I can also picture bringing AnnaKate home from the hospital here. Well, a new chapter in our life is starting and it will be good too!
