Grade School Graduation

It seems schools these days have official graduations for everything! High school graduation is no longer good enough, we now have to have graduation ceremonies for each new school (elementary to middle, etc) and kindergarten and even preschool! The practical and sensible side of me scoffs at such unnecessary events, but my husband gently reminded me, "But it's so fun for the kids." That it is and it was evident at my niece Hannah's graduation a couple weeks back. Even my kids had fun...well, they got a bit bored during the ceremony but they did enjoy the cake afterward and playing on the playground. :o) And I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures of my beautiful niece who is quickly growing up!
