Kindergarten "Graduation"

I have never been a fan of the kindergarten graduation. I think it's a little much.  I mean, they have 12 more years of school for goodness sake.  Not to mention that it sets a precedence right then and there - it's the beginning of entitlements.  It kills me to see parents with bouquets of flowers and huge gifts for their little KINDERGARTNER. 
I guess my dad's practical side of me comes out in these instances. 
With all that said, I did get a little caught up in the event.  I mean, seriously, this is my last kindergartner and she IS the cutest one there.  I mean look at that smile.
 The poor girl is so small that you can't even see her.  She got stuck behind kids that were a good head taller.
 Here she is waiting to get her "certificate".  I could tell she was getting worried because they were calling them by class and since our last name is a V she was one of the last.  I think she thought she would never get called.  Again , the cutest one there.
 
 I think she's feeling a little proud.
 If only I could keep her this little.

 She seriously LOVES her daddy.  And she loved that he had the day off to be able to come.  That doesn't happen very often.
 McKenna and Hannah - they really are friends despite the fact that Hannah has her in a head lock and it looks like she's punching her in the throat.  They are so fun to watch and listen to.

 McKenna and her teacher, Mrs. DeLacerna
She is an amazing teacher.  Having two kindergarten classes of 30 kids each and being able to keep them all straight and know their names, keep them in line and on task all day, and not lose it by the end of the day, she's a regular miracle worker.
Such a fun year for McKenna.  She learned so much and I'm glad it's over because that half day car pool was killing me by the end of the year.

so the cutest. I know you say you don't like them but I felt jipped. we didn't get a pre-school graduation cuz the school went through kindergarten and there was no kindergarten graduation cuz the primary school just goes to 2nd grade! guess the figure what's the point. I know i'm crazy. also she'll be happy to be a v by the time it comes to high school book reports. r never had to do them on the first day and you know me....I was NEVER ready on time!!
