Aubrey's Preschool Graduation!

It's that day.

The day I have been dreading.

Aubrey graduated from Preschool!  

What am I going to be like when they graduate from high school?  Or college???   

A mess, that's what I'll be like.

We have loved Miss Janet!  She has taught all three of my little musketeers, and we adore her!

She does a patriotic themed graduation every year, and it's so cute.

 They start by saying the Pledge of Allegiance, and the kids know it so well, and were very respectful of the flag.

 They sang This Land is Your Land, God Bless America, Grand Old Flag, and Yankee Doodle.  Yankee Doodle was my favorite, I loved hearing Aubrey practice singing, "I GOT a Yankee Doodle sweeeeeeeet heart!"  It is absolutely precious, I love that girl!

 Each of the kids had a part, and they all did awesome!

 And of course our sweet Grandma and Grandpa Edwards came to see her graduate!  They even gave her a big candy bar as a present.

 Hugs all around!

 She wasn't supposed to come see us just yet, so she had to go back up and get her diploma!

 Way to go Aubrey!!

 I just love this sweet lady so much!  We are going to miss her to pieces. She invited us to come over any time and see her, she loves all of my kids, and the feeling is mutual.  She and I had a good cry and a long hug because we can't believe she is done teaching all of my kids!  I have always told her that after Aubrey graduates she can retire and that always felt like such a long time away, but here we are!  And Miss Janet is not retiring.

 They started their hug and Aubrey was worried about knocking her hat off.

 But who cares!?  You need to give a good hug!

 This is Miss Janet's grand daughter, Raimee.  She and Aubrey became such good friends over the year!  We plan on getting together with her through the summer and doing birthday parties and staying in touch.  I really hope we do!

 My sweet little graduate.

Check out that great big candy bar from Grandma and Grandpa!!

I love how she is just standing there with her little hands open! 

Thank you so much!

She was so sweet and shared with London and Ethan and I.  

Because she learned sharing.

And it stuck.

 Here's Aubrey and Tucker.  She loves this kid (her words, not mine).  

She likes that when he walks into a room full of just girls, he always says, "Well hello ladies."  And it makes her giggle.

 After graduation, we made our fairy garden!

I think it turned out so cute!! and Aubrey checks it every day to see if the fairies took any of her treasures.

 It looks like a party, a cute little miniature fairy party, and I bet they love it!

 And there's the swing.

It simply would not be an Aubrey fairy garden without a swing.

I'm so proud of my sweet Aubrey!

Now, stop bawling about it Mom!
