Kindergarten...here we come!!

It's official! Dylan has graduated from preschool and we had a cute evening "ceremony" to celebrate it. Here's Dylan and Miss Mechelle. She is just the best preschool teacher and Dylan has had a great 2 years with her. She declared these boys most definitely ready for kindergarten!That's right - just boys! These four boys are the first graduating class for Serendipity Preschool. Mia and Mandy, the other students in their class, have another year before they head off to kindergarten. We presented this photo to Mechelle so she can hang it up at school. It's so adorable! Will, Dylan, Tyler and Adam
This is the cute backdrop Lisa made that the boys sat in front of during the program. Lisa McGee, Tyler's mom, hosted the ceremony at her home, and of course she did it up "Lisa-style" as only she can! I love the serious picture followed by the crazy one. Could he be any cuter, holy cow! Dylan is waiting to lead the processional.
Such serious boys. Mechelle said she was worried they would be crazy because she said they were so silly when they practiced the program at school. Dylan didn't even crack a smile - he takes this graduation stuff seriously!
Miss Mechelle had a lot of really great things to say about our kids and I loved how you could tell how much she enjoyed teaching these boys. She said their finest quality was that they all really knew how to be true friends and were so good to each other. What more could a parent ask for? She presented them with a diploma, their classes' favorite book, and a slide show DVD of pictures from the past 2 years. Priceless! I couldn't help missing Cole Monsen, Dylan's good buddy who moved just a couple of months ago. I wish he could have been there but it was so fun to see all the sweet pictures of these good friends. Donette and Tyler - we'll have to burn you a copy!
Dylan, Adam and Tyler - such good buddies.
Lisa's cake talents! She also put together a gift bag for the boys that had kindergarten school supplies, a sweet treat and this awesome shirt!Needless to say, they loved it and put it on right away for a really nice picture.

And...then a picture that captures their true selves!!
Thanks for a great party, Lisa!
Thanks so much for a great 2 years, Miss Mechelle! We're so happy you were able to help Dylan learn so many things and he loved preschool so much. Thanks for helping to instill in him what is hopefully a lifetime of loving to learn!

How fun! What a nice graduation. They didn't do anything like that when my kids were in Preschool in NY. Things are so different there! No fluff whatsoever! I love Lisa's cake and the T-shirts are adorable. She is so awesome and just thinks of everything!!! Congrats Dylan!!!

Congrats Dyl! He looks so grown up! It's so nice that he has close buddies (that are good boys) too. I hope when Owen is ready for pre-school, we can find an awesome place like you did.
