We had a week long Kindergarten celebration. Rebekah graduated from Kinder. She had a ceremony where all the parents came and it was a huge party. In Laredo eveything is celebrated big. Thank goodness I learned early about the gift giving thing too. Parents came with all sorts of stuff for the graduate. Lots of balloons and build bear toys, candy etc. Rob and I settled on a couple pair of new earings. Bekah was pleased. She also had field day. You had to wear a white shirt that you had decorated. Ok ya that is definiatley not my strong point. I didn't have a clue or the talent to make a cute T-shirt for her to wear. Thank goodness for Dads. Rob did a really cute puff paint shirt with flowers on the front and her team logo on the back. Whew I lucked out on that one. :) She also had a end of school year Hawaiin party. We had to dress her up in a grass skirt for the all day eating fest. Because that is exactly what it was. Parties here are huge even in school and they always involve huge amounts of eating. Yes you have to be careful when you live in Laredo. The food is very good, super fattening and it feels like you are always eating. Bekah had a wonderful time and we are so proud of her. She excelled in Reading and Science. She had a wonderful report card and is ready for the 1st grade. Great Job Bekah!
