Celebrating at School

The big day is coming.. very soon, our little Allie will be turning 5. And since we will be celebrating her birthday in Sunriver, Oregon, she decided to celebrate today at her school (along with another little boy)...

So, they sang happy birthday and included a wolf howl.... a silly way they celebrate the birthdays...

And then snacks were shared by all...

Really??? A five year old?? How can I make this week last forever... I am not ready to have a five year old daughter... :)

Guess who is Star Student in January????

Each month, during an assembly, Allie's preschool announces who the Star Student is.. Now, mind you, every child will get a turn.. yet, each month, Allie has been so disappointed that she was not star student... Well, this week they had a Pajama Day Assembly....

And guess who is star student...

She was so very proud...

She has been carrying around her certificate and couldn't wait to surprise her dad... who promptly took her out to lunch to celebrate...

It is the little things in life that matter so much.... :)
