Karis First day of school

Karis had her first day of Kindergarten today.  She is in Mrs. Keegan's late bird class at Kimberly School. God has truly blessed her with 3 of her friends from church in her same class.  She absolutely had a wonderful time today.   And she is so excited that she gets to go to school every day this year.   Lanie is a little depressed, but she and I went out for a special date to chuck e cheese and that helped her deal well with the day.  At least until naptime came and she was upset that Karis was not there to take a nap and she had to!   Last night was our  "belly button" night where we got all cleaned up and everything all set up for school the next morning.  Then her and Lanie both woke up very early and dressed and combed their hair and came to tell me they were ready for school (hours before school starts)!  Tonight we are having our special back to school dinner - Taco Pie.  Chocolate chip cookies for dessert (they were fresh out of the oven for Karis when she came home for a special snack).  And of course back to school presents for all girls (special folders and skittles) and junior mints for daddy.   Karis is so sweet and so excited for it all.  Maybe a little too ready - since she was upset that I had to walk her all the way to her class today and take pictures!  She wanted to go all by herself!  I think it helped when she saw all the kids had their parents with them.    And she said today that Mrs. Keegan is her favorite teacher already!  Which says a lot, because she adored her pre kindergarten teacher.    The pictures aren't in any special order, just all mixed around.  Sorry about that.  Hope you enjoy!
