It was party day all around! Olivia got to dress up for a party day at school.

Emma got to dress up for her fall party today too. She wore last years costume since it was more comfortable than her unicorn costume.

Emma’s school did a parade for all the kindergarteners and first graders to show off their costumes. All the other kids in the school got a break from class to sit along the hallways and watch the parade. ❤️

Luckily Olivia had school today so I was able to volunteer at Emma’s party. They played games and decorated cookies.

Emma was very excited to walk me out, and I was very proud she didn’t shed a tear when it was time for me to say goodbye.
