Ella Catherine's Kindergarten Graduation

Hard to believe the school year is already over and Ella Catherine is graduating from Kindergarten.  Her school has 8 kindergarten classes.  So, they paired two classes together for each graduation and there were 4 total graduations spaced 30 minutes apart.  The teachers chose 1 student from each class to read part of a poem at the ceremony.  It wasn't until I was getting her dressed the morning of graduation that she informed me she would be speaking at graduation.  To say that Matt and I were proud would be an understatement.  She was a little nervous but she did wonderful.

The graduation was on a Friday morning so most of the family couldn't make it, but Nana and Pop made the trip.  Here is Ella Catherine with Nana and Pop holding her diploma
