The night before preschool started we had a special going back to school dinner. Elizabeth picked out her meal and dessert that she wanted. We got all her school supplies ready along with her lunch, layed out her clothes, and she was off to bed!
The next morning the kids were up early and spent some time laying with daddy in bed.
She had a great breakfast and said she was excited for school! (I was surprised by this because when we went to meet the teacher I could tell she was nervous and when all the kids went outside to play with one of the teachers Elizabeth opted to stay inside with Tom and me. After that she kept telling me that she was nervous for school.)
Here are the kids, all dressed and ready for school. (Ben had gymnastics this morning.)
Here's Elizabeth, ready for school!
Outside the school building.
Elizabeth said this was her favorite part of school, recess! (of course)
Saying goodbye to her brother. Ben couldn't stop asking me where was Bethie and when was she coming home. He did not like her being away from him all day.
We got to school nice and early to pick up Elizabeth, so we're just hanging out waiting.
Walking down the hall with her class after school. When I saw her walking out with this face I thought for sure she would start crying and say she had a bad day. I was wrong! She said she had a great day and wants to go back on Thursday. (We'll see when Thursday comes!)
My mom came with us to pick up Elizabeth from school and we all went to Sonic for slushies. My mom brought E a back to school present and we all had a great time. Elizabeth has been very spoiled going back to school. Both sides of the family have made going back to school very special for these kids (Elizabeth and Drew) with great dinners and special presents. We have blessed kids!
We are so happy that Elizabeth had a great first day of school. We hope this good streak continues!

What a day for you! E will love school. She is just too cute!
She looks so cute with her hair pulled back, glasses on, and the backpack ready to go... you have to send the pics into MemoryMarkers for their cover challenge! It is just too cute!
Awesome! I thought after I saw that pic of her coming out she had a bad day too. I am glad it was such a good experience for her. I am sure she is going to be a star student.
