Olivia graduated from Kindergarten today. I can't believe it! I remember when I was pregnant with her and Steve and I talked about how long away it seemed that she would start Kindergarten and now it's over. Boo Hoo Hoo! She looked so cute in her cap and gown. My mom has a picture of me in my cap and gown when I graduated and when I get that I will post of picture of Olivia and I at our Kindergarten graduations. Unfortunately Steve wasn't able to be there because a trade show he was doing for work that he could not get out of so it was just Owen, Audrey and I since none of our other family members could make it down.
The onstage pictures didn't turn out very well with my camera.
They all sang a cute song to the tune of "New York, New York" that I'll post at the end.
Here she is receiving her diploma.
And here she is with her awesome teacher Miss Beth.
Earlier that morning the teachers gave out awards and Olivia got the Star Reader award. Miss Beth said Olivia made it all the way to the 2nd grade readers. I was so proud of her.
Sitting with some of her classmates (and Audrey hopped in there too)
Holding her reader award
Olivia and her buddy Aiden. I meant to get a picture of them with their cap and gowns on but forgot. Aiden's mom and I are very good friends so it's fun that our kids are in the same class.
Since Steve couldn't go I asked if they would let me borrow the cap and gown to take home and snap some photos with dad.
She got a beautiful water globe with an inscription on there from her Grandma and Grandpa Thompson.
And a picture frame with an inscription on there from us. We are going to put a picture of us with her cap and gown on in there.

Start spreading the news
We're leaving today.
We want to be a part of
First grade, first grade
We've worked very hard
Our teacher's so proud.
So open up those doors to
First grade, first grade.
We know our... alphabet
And numbers too.
We all can write our names
And tie our shoes!
So when summer's done
And we're all done with play
Our mom's will send us to
First grade, first grade.
If we can make it there
We'll make it anywhere
So here we come
First grade, first grade.
