GRANDPARENTS DAY 2018

Friday afternoon was Starkville Academy's annual Grandparent's Day Program. Elle was so lucky to have CeCe and Gramma and PopPop in town this year. The last two years just one side was able to come. So we had a full house and a full day of celebrating.  Elle and her class have been practicing their song for weeks and were so excited. They were singing The Monkee theme song and had a cute little dance to go with it. It is always such a well put together program and a day we look forward to every year. After the program we go and visit Elle's classroom for a few minutes and she had made cards for all the grandparents she was happy to give them.  This was the first year that Walker was able to come. He had learned the whole Monkee song himself just from hearing Elle sing it so much at home. He got a little restless but did really well for the most part because we had to get there so early and wait for it to start! So all in all the program was a success! 
Walker and I had a lunch date with a friend on Thursday and we had a sweet little afternoon of playing outside afterwards. I love the quiet days at home with one on one time with him.
He is still obsessed with all his baseball gear!

The program had a jungle theme this year and this was the cute 
jungle book backdrop before all the kids started coming in.

that "Gramma gives me chocolate for breakfast and CeCe takes me to the library."
Picture all together as we were leaving.

Elle was super excited to cut out of school early that afternoon. It was beautiful day so she took the opportunity to show Gramma and PopPop her driving skills on the golf cart!
