Graduating Day

Stella has graduated her final year of pre-school. She has done so well this year and I have seen many improvements in her learning skills over the past 9 months! She has had Amy as her teacher for the past two years now and Stella loved being a part of her class! She's made a lot of good friends and enjoyed all the fun activites that Amy planned for them.


Their graduation took place at the Kearns Library. Stella's Grandma and Grandpa Duffin and Great Aunt Chris were all there to see her graduate. The kids all sang songs that they had learned and sang many times over the past year. They cracked me up when they all acted out the actions to the songs! Some really got into it! After the songs we watched a video Amy made of the kids throughout the year. I'm always amazed how much the kids have grown from seeing the beginning pictures to the end of the school year.

And at last, the kids were called one by one to accept their diploma's. The diploma's had Smarties attached to it since they are so smart. Everyone got a balloon, and Stella recieved some special gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Duffin. Afterwards we went to Artic Circle with the Eichelberger's for ice cream. Now we have a few months before she is in Kindergarten. Stella is very excited about moving up to the Elementary School. I wish I was a little more enthusiastic, but it's just another sign that my baby is growing up! I wish I could just freeze time, but I am glad she is growing into a sweet, thoughtful, caring little lady. So congratulations to the Class of 2022!

She is so cute! I love the picture of her in front of the flowers. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Random question- where is the railroad track in your picture up top? I've seen them in so many pictures & I love it.

Ok, so I didn't know you were Stella's mom. She sits in front of me in primary and is the cutest thing ever. She always has the most adorable outfits and her hair is the best. How fun that your little girl is going to kindergarten. Cute pics!
