"Post-Grad" Fun

Mommy and Daddy decided to attend the home show this weekend and Bubby and Zaide decided to meet us there!

With Mommy and Daddy still at work, the boys are left to fend for themselves --- just kidding!  But they have had fun with some entertainment from Bubby and Zaide!

Benji works on his stacking skills.

Tada!

These two!

Derek is excited, too!

The graduate with his gift.

The graduates had an amazing ceremony (no cameras allowed) filled with costume changes and songs.  They did a magnificent job and we are all so proud of Derek.

Miss Ashley and Miss Dorianne have truly prepped Derek for Kindergarten next year and
we are so lucky to have had them as teachers this year.  Derek loves them both so much.

Dahlia, Aaron, and Derek --- together for years.

Carter, Isaac, and Derek.

Best picture of the day!

We had a celebratory lunch afterwards --- Derek chose Panera!  This kid sure can put away a lot of food!

Even the next morning, after sleeping at Grandma and Papa's house --- he's wearing his graduation cap!

Congratulations, Derek!  We love you and you make us proud each and every day!
