First Day of 1st Grade

Today is the day. Our big girls are big first graders. My heart is very heavy. And I miss them terribly.
But I know they are having a great day at school!
Such big girls!!!


Last year when they started Kindergarten... we started a tradition of throwing them a first day of school breakfast party. So when the time came for us to get ready for 1st grade... our little boogers promptly asked... "are you going to do that thing you did for us last year on our first day of school?" My reply... "And what was that?" :) "You know, a first day of school breakfast party?" Oh boy... we've created monsters!!! Here's what last year's party looked like...


Well our little monsters got their wish. When they woke up, they were surprised to see a first day of school themed breakfast party! They were beyond thrilled! 








This was also the first time they got to see their brand new backpacks and matching lunch boxes. A very special gift from Great Grandma and Meemaw. Such a treat! 




Picture with Daddy before Daddy left for work... they all put their backpacks on!



They had some of their favorites... homemade muffins, grapes, scrambled eggs, hot chocolate and raspberry bars for dessert! 




First day of school pictures... it's a must. I know I drive my kiddos crazy with picture taking... but at the end of the day when I look back through all of our memories... it's full of happy thoughts and fun times!

Putting their backpacks away and getting to work at their desks! So proud of them!!! :)



And just for fun... another comparison picture from last year and this year.

Do they really have to keep growing up? And so fast?

Sigh...

What great memories are to come! :)

Happy first day of school to all our family and friends! Loves!!!
