Bonnie's first day of 1st grade

Bonnie had good reason to be excited this year - she got the teacher she had been hoping for the last year. Our friend (and her Sunday school teacher) is a 1st grade teacher at her school and Bonnie was very hopeful to be in her class. We were shocked that she actually was!

We went to open house the week before school to see her teacher and classroom. 

Bonnie was up bright and early on Monday - she couldn't wait for school to start!

She had a great first day and we couldn't wait to get her home. Riser was waiting with open arms.

To add to the excitement, Bonnie was eating a snack after school and lost her second front tooth! 

The rest of the week went off without a hitch. She has continued to have high spirits and we have received a couple pictures from school.

Last day of school

Bonnie finished kindergarten a couple weeks ago. We couldn't of asked for a better experience for her first year of elementary school. She had a great teacher, made lots of new friends, and learned so much! We are so proud of her!

Bonnie and Avery. They weren't in the same class but became best friends by the second day of school. We love that she has a friend in the neighborhood!

After school Avery's mom and I took the kids to Water Country to kick off their summer break!

We are so thankful to have her home all summer! Congrats on a great year!
