Kate's End of the Year Activities

Kate's been a busy girl finishing up her activities...

She's been able to be in a preschool swap with four other little girls from our ward and has loved it! They have been the funnest little girls and it was fun to focus on "girly" things for the themes. We did a fairy hunt, kitty day, teddy bear picnic, "x" marks the spot - finding princess treasure and holiday celebrations - just to name a few. Most days of the week, Kate would ask if it was "home preschool" day. (Thank you to Kirsten, Becky, Sarah & Lisa for such a fun year!)

A couple of weeks ago, we met at Graeter's where Becky had prepared a little "graduation" for them. She had made cute little bags with their names on them. There were 2 new little books inside. The girls all LOVED them! We ate yummy icecream together and had a fun morning.

Kate also finished up her year of dance. She had a great time and was always so happy to go. The year was a little rough for some of the other little girls in the class. There were 2 that dropped out because they would not stop crying. There were 2 or 3 others that were also cryers, but they finally decided that dance was something that wasn't worth crying over. I think Kate was the only dancer in the group that didn't once shed a tear. Miss Tricia was such a great teacher (she was pregnant at the beginning and had a baby in December)! The only thing that I wish was different was that the dance company puts on a big show every May and all the classes get to have a part in it - including the 2 & 3 year old class. But, the show is on Sunday. So, we didn't do the show, but Kate still loved learning their little butterfly dance.

Great job Kate!!! Thanks for always being such a good girl and so fun to take to activities!

(I feel bad that Ms. Tricia's eyes are closed, but it was the best picture I got of the girls)
