Good-bye Kindergarten!

The last day of Kindergarten really seemed to come out of nowhere - it seemed like we had just started the year!  But she had a great year - she made some sweet friends, had an amazing teacher, and learned so much!  Here is a comparison of her on the first day and the last!  She really looks like she grew up a ton in those few months!

Before leaving Hill for the last time as a Kindergartner, I made sure to snap a pic with Mrs. Hoelscher.  She was an amazing answer to prayers for us this year and we were so blessed!

Right after school, we headed to the mall for a special end-of-school treat!  Meredith got her ears pierced!  We picked out the perfect earrings (green, of course!) and just as we were waiting our turn, Meredith watched someone else get theirs done.  Quickly, she started to question her decision.  We had to have a pep talk and go for a walk before she would go through with this big step!  I was pretty sure we were going home with the same holes in our head we left with, but she got a burst of bravery and we went back.  She cried, but she did it and they look adorable! Such a brave, big girl!
