Preschool Graduation

Our little lady is growing up! Yesterday Maryn officially graduated from Preschool! She was feeling the love and had a very special day! Not only were Mom, Dad, and Brynnie there to support her, but Grammy, Uncle Kevin, Uncle Aaron and Aunt Megan came up to watch her little program as well. It was fun seeing all the kids show off to their families some of the things they have learned this year, like sign language and Spanish. Uncle Aaron who served his mission in Peru was happy Maryn was representing with her Espanol skills! We know Uncle Jesse would be happy too!
Maryn's teacher made little yearbooks for every child with mementos from the year. It was fun to look through and see how much our little Peanut has learned and grown. Maryn really did have amazing teachers this year. The kind that make you feel blessed as a parent. Because you know that when your child is away from you, they are being loved and nurtured and taught. The only thing making it easier that Maryn is leaving her old school is that Brynna will be starting there next year.

After the Graduation Program we all headed over to Williamson Bros. Barbeque for some lunch! Nothing says celebration like a little fried okra and Brunswick stew! Mmmmm, so good! Grammy and I decided we should all do lunch everyday! It's been so nice having family back in town and we will miss all of them so much when they all have leave. We are blessed to have such a great, supportive family!
Even Aunt Megan's sweet mom Tracy sent a special Graduation surprise for Maryn! She really is one of the most thoughtful people I know! Not only has our family been blessed with Megan, whom the girls just love, as do I, but we have been blessed by her awesome family too. We're so appreciative of all their love and support!
Maryn has been begging for a Webkinz for months and I kept telling her to wait and maybe she could get one for her birthday. So when she opened Tracy's gift and there was TWO adorable, little Webkinz inside she was ecstatic!! We even made a little notebook for her to keep track of their adoption paperwork and everything. Those Webkinz and the notebook have not left her side! She is in LOVE! I think she officially has a new obsession!

It's so strange to think how fast she has grown up and that she'll really be off to Kindergarten in the Fall. But Justin and I truly feel blessed to see what a good girl Maryn is growing up to be. She is a firecracker and natural leader, smart and funny. We know that no matter how many new phases of life are before her to conquer she will be a success at anything that comes her way. Here's to this new chapter in her life!
