Gruber Adventures: Caleb's Graduation

Caleb had his preschool "Graduation" last night. Each class sang a song and recited a bible verse, then received their "diploma". It was really very cute - gotta love it when kids sing. However, the paparazzi were a bit much!!! I'm all for parents taking pictures ... I mean, I was one of them ... but when you are standing in the center aisle, smiling at your child singing, forgetting that there are hundreds of parents behind you who just might want to see their child too ... sigh. But people were very patient and (outwardly) calm. That was good.

Ellie did very well sitting with us (and Grandpa Marvin, Grandma Betty and Grandma Darlene) in the pew. Graduation is only for the preschool classes, so she won't qualify until next year. The funniest moment (for me) was during a lull part of the "ceremonies". The classes were switching out or something, so we were all waiting patiently through the switching ... when Ellie YELLS out, "HI CALEB!!!" And Caleb, on stage with his class, smiles, jumps up and down, waves and YELLS back, "HI ELLIE!" That was pretty cute.

We all went out for ICE CREAM afterwards! Hurrah! Caleb was soooooooooo excited for everything - singing, "graduating", getting ice cream, grandparents ... I haven't seen him that excited in a LONG time! He just couldn't contain himself!

Here's a video of Caleb and his class singing a song. Enjoy!

And here are a few pictures ...

Look at us women! We all match! GO TEAM!
