1st Day of Kindergarten!

Today was Avery's first day of Kindergarten! She was so excited...couldn't sleep all night! She has been waiting for this day for years!

Having lunch before the BIG day starts!

What a cute kindergartener!

Ryder was a little nervous....

didn't really want to pose for pictures!

Avery wanting to climb the tree in her new dress....

she is such a tom-boy!

2 kindergarteners all ready for school!

showing off their new backpacks!

Best Buddies!

Walking in to Mapleton Elementary School!

FINALLY, it's her turn to be a student there!

Getting a little nervous here!

Posing by her classroom!

Her teacher is Mrs. Gillies! Dylan had her in Kindergarten too, and we love her....she is such a great teacher!

Hanging up her backpack!

sitting at her table, getting ready to decorate her nametag!

She walked me out the back door of her classroom

and gave me a kiss goodbye!

.....and that's when the tears started (mine, not hers!)

I cried like a baby all the way home! Where does the time go? My little girl is all grown up!

Dylan picked her up after school and walked her to the car!

She had a GREAT day and says she can't wait to go back tomorrow!

We love you very much, Avery! We are so proud of you!!
