Ladies and gentlemen, we have a middle schooler!

 Well, this lovely lady is officially done with elementary school. 

Dad and Sis waiting for the ceremony to start. 

 We're totally making a giant head for Amalia's graduation. 

 Lily will definitely miss her teacher Ms. London. 

 And the feeling is mutual. 

The fifth graders sang a lovely song they learned at science camp. It is called "Shooting Star" and is about friends and the lasting memories they make in your life. 

Celebrating our girl. 

2nd graders going out in style

Today was Amalia's end-of-year 2nd grade class party. 

 Kids had their money on Amalia to win.

Because they were chocolate donuts, she immediately ran to spit it out after biting it off the string.

 Onto the relay race, conveniently featuring cups of water on this hot San Jose day. 

I had been planning to send her to aftercare, but couldn't bring myself to send her in soaking wet clothes.

 Some other moms, much more creative than I, put together this lovely gift for Ms. Sullivan.

Their end of year pictures were holding balloons of their beginning of the year pictures. 

I know, right? How adorable.
