School Days

When my sister-in-law asked where our "first day of school" pictures were
I honestly had to say that I never even thought about posting them.
So thanks for the reminder, Amber...and here you go..
.



Kindergarten - Mrs. Hansen

We hugged Ben goodbye and ran across the playground to 2nd Grade

Second Grade - Miss Nita


I had dreams of recreating our "last day of summer celebration" from 2008,
but the day before school started was full of tantrums and tension.
We actually ate cold Costco pizza for dinner...how sad is that?
To try to make up for it, we celebrated with a
"first day of school cake" that Ben and Emily decorated...
they wanted to have a sprinkle party on the cake.
They succeeded.

There's those cute 'first day of school' pics we've been anxiously waiting for! What handsome guys you are! Nate, where's that big smile? I wanted to see your missing tooth!! How cool is that--you both go to the same school! Janet, you're so great to make up for 'best laid plans'--and cold Costco pizza does not make you any less of a great mom! Just kinda helps us to know we ALL have those kinds of moments! Great post--thanks so much for taking the time to keep us updated--we love you all! Love, Grandma Dana
